Original Youtube title of the video I got a few hours ago was: "LG’s Manipulative, Gaslighting Response to GN Report" Either they changed it for some legal reason, or Youtube allows for A/B testing of multiple titles for engagement.

YouTube encourages A/B testing of both titles and thumbnails, but it could be either.

It's almost certainly A/B test. Essentially everyone does it.

You can even sometimes see when a list of videos on YT first loads and a given video has one title, and it suddenly switches to another without you reloading the page.

Youtube allows you to AB test with up to 3 titles and thumbnails.

On several channels I watch, I've noticed the top comment is always along the lines of "who was here when the video title was XYZ" because you know it's going to change.

This „we own the glass“ idea is completely insane. How does an industry degenerate to the point where they consider acceptable to base their business model on owning part of the product they sell you?
