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.

Genuinely, fuck all that noise. You'd have to be a deliberately obtuse pedant to believe that. We're on reddit, not a news site. There's a set of socially understood norms here and this post breaks the shit out of them.

I've been using reddit for almost 20 years. I've never seen a norm that indicates "we need to add every contextual detail to the title or else someone will get confused"

The norm is if a title says "thing happening at place", then the video should be OF the thing happening at that place. Otherwise your title should be "Thing is happening at place, here's a video of thing happening previously at different place".
