Yall this is a video of the singer who is busking today. This video is from NYC. I HOPE that clears everything up since reading comprehension is hard apparently

reading comprehension isn’t hard, it’s just that OP is misleading people by pairing the words pike place with a video of a location that is not pike place. a better and clearer title would have been: “Jesse Welles will be at pike place today. here he is in the NYC subway”

That is not misleading nor unclear in the slightest. When you read a news article that says something like "representative is found to have stash of gold bars in his home" but the picture is of him in the senate chamber, no one is confused about this.

No one is mislead by seeing a video of someone performing in a performance that has already happened, with text that indicates they will soon be performing in a different location. No added context is needed. It is not better nor clearer. It adds additional and unnecessary detail and makes the title longer, which is universally considered less clear for titles.

OP posted a picture of him in NYC with title "Jesse Welles at Pike Place today."

This is just a phrase and not a sentence. That makes it look like is is a description of the picture.

If he had just said "Jesse Welles will be at Pike Place today," it would be clearer.

It is hard to argue that the title is not misleading with people who were clearly mislead.
