Neat - but the clickbait title is garbage, and so I have to downvote. What's wrong with just titling it "Statistical reasons why you could die next week". Ah, there's an intriguing title that makes me want to watch it without any gotcha games.

Because on every other platform, a title like that won't compete with clickbait and ragebait. Its only really here (and to a lesser extent Reddit) where clickbait negatively impacts a video's spread. Until people want to post here specifically, that won't change.

Well luckily, we aren't other platforms.
