Reductive or oxidizing?

Maybe an oxidative title is an inflammatory claim that's not substantiated in the video...

Then the video should be titled "Informative tour of a nuclear submarine". Not focusing on one question.

YouTube is part of the attention economy. Videos do better with click bait titles than they do with bland informative titles.

That was basically the premise of the series. This was one of multiple videos in that series. I don't know about everyone else but a good portion of that video was showing the physical steps taken to make these reactions happen on a sub, which I thought was more interesting than just getting a chemical reaction given as an answer

> To your last question: the nature of having to attract clicks means youtube creators have to choose reductive titles that tease some particular nugget of information that's going to be discussed
With respect: if all you wanted was the answer to that question and nothing else, Googling produces it much more quickly than you'd likely ever get from a video, and you might just not be the target audience here. I personally enjoyed the whole series as-is, and it seems from the YouTube comments like many viewers did as well, but obviously YMMV.
