You can’t even try tempering the tile because YouTube lets uploaded change the title and thumbnail to get better engagement. I noticed it with veritasium after they dropped their teflon video they changed the title and thumbnail while I was watching it

YT allows for A/B testing of titles and thumbnails but a couple hours later, that testing ends and the title remains the same.
