The content of the video is specifically directed at people of the developing world:

> this is the catastrophic reality I say in developing countries we have to go back to using natural building materials. historically we have a very rich examples of vernacular architecture that still stands we have to go back to our traditions to learn from but in the same time keeping up with the immense scientific progress so that a person from the 21st century can enjoy modern life commodities examples from South of France and Germany

Promoting locally available building materials for building houses is very different than saying one shouldn't incur any debt when building a home.

I guess titles for any documentary are going to be at least a bit intriguing, which could be the same as clickbait? But the full YouTube video title does specify it's talking about/to Africa:

"i'd rather build my house with my own earth than go into debt, Green Architecture, Africa"
