Had to subscribe after seeing this on YouTube... great video!

2022-08-31 00:31:33 +0000 UTCI think the "How" title is more open to ambiguity of meaning, which might lead to more clicks, but I say this as someone who knows nothing about The Algorithm. Both seem like accurate titles!

2022-08-30 21:50:04 +0000 UTCafter watching the video, I think the first title is more accurate to what you're trying to say. excellent video as always, I never heard about Sharpton before now; I just assumed Blue Bloods pulled that plot out of their asses.

2022-08-30 11:34:10 +0000 UTCthank you so much for the research and work you put into this video. Never really knew much about Al Sharpton before this except that people had opinions about him. Really looking forward to Anime Court, will keep an eye out on Nebula.

2022-08-30 00:50:22 +0000 UTCThe 1st title seems better.

2022-08-29 23:28:50 +0000 UTCI learned so much from this video. When I saw the notification pop up, I was like 🤔🤔🤔🤔 I grew up around the same time as you and didn’t know much about his activism in the 80s and early 90s.

2022-08-29 21:48:16 +0000 UTCI agree with you, if the second title is used, 'why is al sharpton a joke now?' might be an option

2022-08-29 20:26:07 +0000 UTCI like the first title because it makes it clear that he hasn't always been perceived as he is now and changed from a serious political/religious figure into someone that is mocked.

2022-08-29 20:14:01 +0000 UTCI like the first one better but I think the second one would do better with the algorithm
