Why it worked
This video likely performed well because it addresses a common user frustration: unwanted app updates that remove desired features or change the user interface. By showing a method to revert to an older, preferred version of a popular app like YouTube, it taps into a desire for control and customization, which resonates with users seeking workarounds for app changes.
