    They’re doing the thing where they upload a video and then change the thumbnail and title of the video every few days which I’ve only seen done by all the low effort click bait channels. It’s what finally got me to install the dearrow extension which swaps titles and videos of YouTube videos to be more informative and less click bait.

      I believe this is a YouTube feature that effectively runs A/B tests on your behalf. You give it multiple titles and thumbnails and it’ll gauge engagement with each and then use the one that was most popular. I hate it.
