They could have made the title about the fact that FPS wasn't a term at the time instead of using a question that is worded in the present tense.
"What genre was Doom when it was released"
I share your frustration, but YouTube offers you a choice: use honest titles and suffer at the hands of the algorithm, or use clickbait and get access to a much wider audience.
If the creator needs to use clickbait in order to have the funding to produce higher quality videos, I find it hard to hold them personally responsible for the systemic issues of the platform.
And that's fine, I just won't watch those videos. The channels I tend to watch have pretty clear titles, e.g. Gamer's Nexus and Digital Foundry are awesome.
I'll take this one: Wolfenstein Clone.
It makes no sense to call something a clone when it was made by the same studio that made the original. Very few wanted to call quake a doom clone.
