Needing to fix a leakey drain pipe connection under my kitchen sink, I searched YouTube videos.
Then sorted them by view count, assuming more views is likely to be a better video.

Well you'll never guess what.
The most viewed, with 2.8 million views, was the one at the top so I start watching it.
Gee. This plumber didn't strike me as particularly competent since the horizontal pipe connecting the two sink drains was not level.
That means the gasket were they connect can not make a tight seal.
I couldn't figure out why it got so many views.
After watching a bit more I became suspicious


I kept watching but not for the reason most of the 2.8 million. viewers did.
Then I figured it out.
It starts out pretty innocently, but start watching at 23:25.


REALLY!?!
