the "creators" get paid based on the number of views. Clickbaiting and exaggerated content significance are unfortunately pretty much the rule now-a-days and as a result including IMO even popular sites such as Meidas Touch. Another example is the never-ending videos about the war in Ukraine (it seems the Russian invading forces are always getting nut-kicked and about to collapse). Vids about Tesla upcoming models are similar, usually contain nothing new and are full of irrelevant, old footage. Similarly it seems Trump and MAGA are in a continuous state of collapse.
