Patrons Assemble! Something I probably think too much about is losing a video to the YouTube algorithm gods because the title wasn't as clickable as it could've been.

Which of these would you be more likely to click on?

They may seem like small differences, but I've noticed those small differences can sometimes lead to a big difference algorithmically.

One other thing to keep in mind is attracting people who may not know what a C64 is with the title, although the computer is clearly shown in the thumbnail.

Thank you!

How about: "A Commodore 64 and a 1980s C64 Modem is all you need to contact ISS." If a video has that title and the poster is Retro Recepies .... That would make me very curious.

I like that but unfortunately it's likely to be truncated for users on some devices. One of the many variables I juggle with and struggle with is getting the keywords near the front. See just above for the latest iteration ๐Ÿ˜Š

The video title now on YouTube isn't the poll winner? I'm confused.
