The tweet in question I'm guessing you're referring to is this:

> I find it distasteful, almost unethical, to say this when you have 18 million subscribers.

> Hard to explain why, but with great reach comes great responsibility. Potentially killing someone else’s nascent project reeks of carelessness.

> First, do no harm.

It's pretty clear they're not referring to JUST the headline/title of the YT video.

I don’t agree, I could still make an opposite statement based on those quotes.
The YT title was 'The worst product I've ever reviewed...for now.'

It doesn't mention Humane or the AI Pin, there's also no brand logo in the thumbnail. Just a pic of the device itself. If you had no foreknowledge of the video or device itself, or what he was talking about, you'd have to watch at least 1 minute into the video itself to know the company and device name. The YT video title on its own can't possibly 'kill someone's nascent project' or 'cause harm' on its own.
