I don’t have time to watch the video but the title seems too hopeful. It seems much more likely that it’s the death of the working class.
From what I remember (I watched this a few days after it came out I'm pretty sure, so it's been a while), the gist of the video is "capitalism is dying and being replaced with techno-feudalism". So you're not far off honestly, but it's not exactly a hopeful title lol. But he's gotta put a catchy title on there to draw people in.
That was my fear. We are only on track to replace it with something worse.
Also, YouTube has created a scenario where thumbnails and titles have to basically be clickbait. I don’t blame the people just trying to make a living but I’ll avoid engaging.

Absolutely! I feel like they actually have the opposite effect here in Lemmy. People seem to read the click bait title and just down vote without engaging at all. I might need to start tweaking the titles when I post them here.
I would keep the title but add a comment.
