> In this particular case, I get that this particular creator might've had a point to make, but the description and summary were so cheekily written (to make a point, I guess) that I had no idea what it was about.

This is totally fair. I watch quite a bit of his educational content on cameras so I already trusted him enough to watch past the preamble. When this thread came up it was the first video that came to mind since I’d recently watched it. I can totally see how it’d be a bit less effective for someone not already familiar with his stuff.

I also agree with the general theme of your last paragraph. For the most part, I’ll avoid channels that are primarily fluff, or skip through the preamble if it’s a creator that I begrudgingly follow because they make good - if unnecessarily fluffy at times - content.

Also not sure what the long term solution is. I do tend to believe Google’s approach with this YouTube feature isn’t it.
