Titles and thumbnails have a huge impact on video performance, and when it's your main income it seems reasonable to try to marginalise the impact.

Right, but then there's this thing called "shared reality" and once you break it, all kinds of bad consequences happen.

This is even worse, as it also breaks temporal continuity for individual reality. E.g. I expect that if I saw a video titled X today, I'll be able to find it under title X tomorrow, and if I can't, it's one of the rare/marginal cases when it got banned/deleted/retitled, or I just misremembered. Titles becoming unstable in the general case is a bad situation.


Gaslighting is now a government policy

And video performance = ad revenue.
