(8,082 posts)I'm not saying that you're the one who captioned this post but I watched the whole video: "Trump's Iowa Speech Goes Bad Very quickly." It was just trump being trump. There was nothing about this particular video that lives up to the caption.

(112,504 posts)duplicate videos, not that I haven't done it myself. I edit the titles to use Mixed Case rather than UPPER CASE and occasionally provide identifiers for clarity (e.g., "Dallas" vs. "local" . I try to avoid totally renaming videos because that is infringing on the artistic license of others--it would be similar to cropping a photograph or calling a literary work "Star-crossed Teens Commit Suicide" rather than "Romeo & Juliet."
As far as comments about video titles, they have become a huge yawn to me. DU is not an English class or journalism class so I believe that people shouldn't dwell on something so trivial. We are all adults here so if you feel that a video has a clickbait title, then don't click on the video. Unless a video has an unusually long title, I make it clear in the title as to what source I am using be it a professional news organization, a social organization, comedian, or analyst so there shouldn't be any surprises there either. Personally, I'm more annoyed when someone comes up with a "creative" title that provides no significant information such as the creator or topic of the video. Therefore, a sensationalist title is a far less egregious violation of courtesy to other DUers than changing the title to satisfy a small contingent on DU.
I've been posting Luke Beasley's videos for over six months so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he does social and political analysis. At least he doesn't have loud annoying musical intros and outros, he avoids being bombastic or wallowing in a pit of doom and gloom, there are no ads in his content, and he does relatively little self-promotion with only a sentence or two mentioning the other media outlets he uses besides YouTube. His approach of showing portions of videos and commenting isn't significantly different than what other video bloggers use such as Meidas Touch, Rebel HQ, and The Young Turks.
