First, my apology that I am making this off-topic remark. Remark: is it just me, or do other people too hesitate to click a youtube link with no title given?

I feel like I at least want to know the title of the linked video, even if it doesn't reveal much about the video.
IMO it'd be very nice if people made a habit of Ctrl+c/v'ing the title along with a yt link.
- drivers99 3y agoGood point. I think I've seen some subreddits with a bot that does that for YouTube links. Title: Making Beads That Vibrate To Cheat In Chess Length: 18min, 54s Channel: MixMorris (102k subscribers) 17,364 views Oct 23, 2022 #chess #engineering Description: "This video speaks for itself."

For anyone unaware, this all stems from the allegations made against Hans Niemann last year: https://www.npr.org/2023/09/26/1201734274/chess-hans-niemann-anal-beads-cheating https://www.npr.org/2023/09/26/1201734274/chess-hans-niemann...
- klyrs 3y agoI've read way too much about Hans's alleged butt stuff already. I do not need more of that.
- tysam_and 3y agoAnd if your sense of humor is similar to mine, then you might just find this video by DougDoug riffing on the topic hilarious: Title: "I created the ultimate Chess Ai (it can cheat)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_wOsSda3Us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_wOsSda3Us
- anon_cow1111 3y agoI don't think I've clicked a no-context youtube link in years. Sometimes when it seems like it might be worth clicking, I just throw the hash into a search engine.
