    Yeah that’s fair. I’m not the creator of this video, but I think this is an interesting case. Because I too hate clickbaity titles. But I actually think that the combination of the thumbnail (“I was there”) with the title made it clear enough what the video would be about. Sure, rephrasing the title as “the true story of how Raygun represented Australia in the Olympics” or something like that would have been better, but that probably still would attracted criticism for clickbaitiness, despite being about as accurate and straightforward as you can get in the short space of a title.
