That's typically the kind of videos I will never watch. The thumbnail is ridiculous (as per YouTube's guidelines), the title is vague and clickbait. For those who did, what made you click?
PS: thanks OP for adding details
I clicked on it because I knew a lot of things with Spotify are broken and I am interested in it. I have a lot of friends on there and I like having good arguments against it. Also I just like this channel and my mood did very much fit the "we're fucked" part of the title ๐
I refuse to use YouTube without sponsorblock and dearrow. I use Firefox on android with extensions and make a YouTube PWA because thumbnails in the official app are ridiculous.
Even good channels like Veritasium have completely irrelevant titles make me skip videos I would've watched
