Title: I know, it's in the definition of them.
Description: Doesn't make me want to watch the video and frankly comes off as click-bait.
This could be done better.

Thank you for the feedback. Frankly I wasn't certain what all would be auto-populated from the video and did not want everything to be duplicated - this is my first post from this account and while the second for Lemmy overall, the first again for a video link, and to this community.
I edited the post from the old body of "This Video Will Make You Angry, by CGP Grey" to now:
A video titled "This Video Will Make You Angry", by CGP Grey, about how memes evolve in the same manner as living organisms, though in this case those most successful tend to be the ones that engender anger in their target audience.
Anyway, it's a 9-year-old video, and yet one that I had not seen from him before somehow, though certainly the concept has made the rounds. Even so I found it interesting, and in light of the upcoming election season (in the USA and world-wide) thought it might be worth sharing:-).
How "meta" then that CGP Grey chose to use a click-baity title to talk about why people use click-bait content:-).
Ah yes, that would make me want to watch now. Thank you and well said.
