The click bait titles that a lot of these videos are given are often not really helpful to anyone, imo. They are designed to attract attention, and they certainly do that, but the tactic has been so overused that a lot of us roll our eyes when we see a video labeled the way this one was. The title you gave this post was descriptive without sensationalizing. It's unfortunate that anyone would let themselves get distracted by the language used by the video's creator.
