Edit - Addendum: The video title is quite clickbait-y. The video doesn't want to debunk any "serious" science, but rather investigates how badly done research with no reproducability or horrible statistical significance is used to influence the discourse in favour of regressive politics.

If it’s a misleading title, then go be mad at the person who used a bad title

What you just said she did, is not what the title claims.

Is it her bad title, or did you make it up?

It's the title of the video. Video essayists rely on the algorithm, which encourages click-bait titles.

Also, it targets true bullshit evopsych professors and published evopsych papers, as well as the cultural image evopsych has in the current cultural context, which is a valid approach.
