Heres my Lemmy response to this guys Youtube response to a The New Yorker article: I don't care for clickbait titles. I don't have receipts, but I can assure you, clickbait titles aren't my thing.
Sorry, I didn't change the default title that Kbin gave before posting(By default it just grabs the title of the page and description).
Oh lol. Is the Kbin to Lemmy conversion where those really long titles that don't fit come from?
They could be lol
clickbait bullshit youtube title.....
