Youtube wants you to brainlessly watch whatever the algorithm spits at you next. Ideally, you’d have no information at all about the video before watching it. No title, no creator name, no view count, no thumbnail, nothing. Just CONSOOM. Attach their autoplay slop hose directly to your mouth and don’t ask questions about what’s flowing through it.
