Because fuck clickbait:

In the YouTube video "How This Anime Company Lied To You," the speaker criticizes anime company Disco Tech for their business practices and connections to Anime News Network (ANN), which the speaker alleges have led to dishonest content alterations and censorship. The speaker provides examples of ANN mistranslating interviews and Disco Tech censoring content, particularly related to sexuality and homosexuality. The speaker also discusses the case of JelloApocalypse's involvement in the dubbing of "Lovely Complex," where significant changes were made without the original creators' consent or knowledge. The speaker argues that anime distributors often request changes to be kept quiet to avoid backlash, and that the approval process for altering work in the anime industry is not as authentic as it may seem. The speaker uses the example of Yakuza's localization to illustrate how producers may be misled into believing changes are for the betterment of sales, even if it means distorting the original content. The speaker also discusses the impact of these dishonest localization practices, using the example of shojo artist Hako Ashihara, who took her own life due to her frustration over the mishandling of her series. The speaker encourages viewers to take action in protest against these issues, which have led to positive change for both fans and creators.

How is this video clickbait?

you could start with replacing "THIS" with the name of the actual fucking anime company

The name of the company is in the thumbnail.

EDIT Videos is a visual media. So you can't ignore that side of it.
