TL;DW:
A lot of science-related YouTube channels get indirect funding from the US government.

Thank you. Clickbait is clickbait, here or not. Make your titles useful people. We aren't reddit here.
This is the direct video title. And the description of the YouTube video is partially in the body Text.
While I appreciate that rule in many communities, there's nothing stopping them from posting a summary or even editorial in the body.
Lemmy luckily let's us change titles.
I don't want users adding their own editorial takes.
There is no body text that I can see. I am viewing via Lemmy and using the Voyager app.

YouTube is and has always been shit.
Except for let's game it out and kurzgesagt. In all the years of YouTube they're literally the only fucking things I've ever found worth watching at all.
I have enjoyed Anton Petrov, Parallax Nick, some PBS Spacetime and Crash Course, plus history content from the Austin school and other places.
Kurzgesagt had quite a bit of really interesting content, but seems to have fallen off quite a bit in the last year or so.
