Its like click bait today.

Back in the 1970s it was people like Carl Sagan that would make these crazy predictions to get people to watch his various specials/appearances.

Today’s version is people that get paid by various internet platforms based on the number of visits/subscribers like YouTube.

Why do so many YouTube channels have pictures of pretty girls on them? Sex sells. It gets people to watch them even for a couple minutes.

Same with people that make incredible claims about the real estate market or that the stock market is going to CRASH. They make money off of clicks and subscribers, not whether their predictions are correct. Some channels make $300K-400K or more if you can get up close to one million subscribers. Especially when you get sponsors.
