A lot just use clickbait titles because financially it makes a lot of sense, a few have even show the numbers from their videos and clickbaity thumbnails/titles always bring more views, so yeah its not a useful signal of quality because we live in a capitalist society and its in their best interest to make money regardless of the quality of their content; another commenter just told me about dearrow (https://dearrow.ajay.app/ https://dearrow.ajay.app/), a chrome extenstion that crowdsources better titles, that seems even like more effort than I was thinking, as my idea is to use AI, so there is defintely some interest in the feature, but perhaps dearrow already fills that need.
