Clickbait title could use another pass. What is this about?
- nticompass 7mo agoI clicked on the link and the video title is "Decoding Escher's most mind-bending piece", which is a lot better. I also had no idea what "3B1B video" meant, apparently it's a channel called "3Blue1Brown".
- hnuser123456 7mo agoIt's about examining the mathematical methods MC Escher used in one of his recursive drawings.
- coldpie 7mo ago> Examining the mathematical methods MC Escher used in one of his recursive drawings This would be an excellent title :)
- SirMaster 7mo agoDepends how you define excellent. If the goal is to get more views then it's not all that great, and views are kind of the point of YouTube for many, especially if they are trying to make a living from it.
- c-hendricks 7mo agoThat's great for YouTube, but HN has some guidelines: > please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait
- rcxdude 7mo agoProbably he didn't use these techniques explicity: the video mentions but doesn't emphasise that he probably sketched out the map by feel instead of analytically, which is probably one reason why he didn't fill in the center.
- wodenokoto 7mo agoIt makes more sense when seen on YouTube where you get the thumbnail of one of M. C. Eschers famous drawings is shown. It’s a drawing of a guy looking at a picture of a town with himself standing in the town, but it’s all twirled and twisted so it’s self repetition isn’t obvious.
- jgwil2 7mo agoThis was the title used when I came across the video. Apparently YouTube uses many different titles for A/B testing but this is the one I got. Can't edit it now, unfortunately. EDIT: seems like dang or team took care of it, thanks!
