I hate videos where the title is a question but could just be the answer, so I searched the answer instead of clicking: it's Germany's country code, .de, which has 16.1 million registered domains. The next two are .uk and .cn, which belong to the United Kingdom and China, with 10.6 million and 9 million domains, respectively.

MODERATORS
If you had watched the video instead you would know that this isn’t really the point of it.
Well that just makes the title even more useless.
You've got the wrong mindset going into it. Would you really go to a standup comedy and then complain you learned nothing useful? These videos are for entertainment foremost, lecturing second, concise factual information not at all.
"It's the viewer's fault the creator gave their video a shitty title!"
Hard disagree. The title isn't shitty. The worst harm that could've come to you is that you spend 30 seconds watching a video that you realise isn't for you. This horrible fate is a risk you run when browsing the interwebs.
Yes it might be annoying expecting a concise lecture about domains, but you only need to spend 30 seconds to realise it and you can avoid map men forever if you wish.
Your expectation seems to be that video titles should be there to provide all context before watching, and while that may be true and desirable for fully educational channels, this isn't one of them. You've got the wrong expectations coming into it.
What do you think is a better title? "This is a humorous video about country codes on the internet. Please watch only if you are willing to be amused and not thoroughly educated."
