A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The thumbnails LTT uses tells you everything you need to know about his content and company.
I've always found the titles to be clickbaity and uninformative. If I want to look up their videos again I would have no idea what the title is to look up.
It doesn't help that the titles get changed a handful of times throughout the release day so even if you remember the name it may not be the same if you want to re-watch it.
this is a YouTube problem, not an LMG one unfortunately. nearly all successful creators will A/B test various titles and thumbnails until The Algorithm(TM) is happy
It's called the Strange Applications of the Magnus Effect effect.
...and, of course, the current title of that video contains "unreasonably effective", a meme, same as considered harmful.
