[[INTRODUCTION]]

Welcome, fellow researchers, to a study that promises to be as tantalizing as a juicy, clickbait-y YouTube video title. In an age where the allure of viral internet content can be as irresistible as a freshly baked batch of chocolate chip cookies, we embarked on a scholarly quest to uncover the unlikely relationship between MrBeast's attention-grabbing video titles and the nutritional landscape of Maryland. It's a bit like trying to connect the dots between a super-sized fast-food meal and a craving for kale smoothies—surprisingly complex but undeniably intriguing.

As we delved into this uncharted territory, we couldn't help but marvel at the peculiar marriage of pop culture and professional expertise. The magnetic pull of MrBeast's clickbait-y titles, much like the siren call of a bottomless buffet, beckons viewers with the promise of entertainment and excitement. Meanwhile, the world of nutrition and dietetics, with its kaleidoscope of superfoods and dietary guidelines, stands as a bastion of sensible eating amid the tumultuous sea of indulgence.

Our journey stemmed from the realization that the hypothetical collision of these two worlds might just create a kaleidoscope of its own—a kaleidoscope of data, trends, and perhaps a fair share of head-scratching moments. And so, armed with an arsenal of statistical tools and an insatiable appetite for uncovering the unexpected, we set out to explore the unconventional relationship between MrBeast's clickbait-y YouTube video titles and the number of dietitians and nutritionists in the captivating state of Maryland.

The stage is set, the curtain rises, and a cast of dietary trends, viral internet phenomena, and perhaps a pinch of statistical tomfoolery awaits. Join us as we unravel the enthralling tale of "Counting the Clicks: MrBeast YouTube Video Titles and the Nutritional Nuttiness in Maryland."

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

To embark on our scholarly odyssey, we first turned to the existing literature in hopes of shedding light on the quirky intersection of MrBeast's YouTube exploits and the world of nutrition. Smith et al. (2018) laid the groundwork by examining the psychology of clickbait and its influence on audience engagement. They probed the depths of human curiosity, uncovering the irresistible appeal of tantalizing thumbnails and provocative titles that beckon viewers to click, often in pursuit of a solution to a problem they didn't even know they had. It's a bit like opening a bag of potato chips with the intention of having just one – an act of self-deception we've all been guilty of at one point or another.

Moving beyond the realms of academia, Doe (2016) offered insights into the nutritional landscape of Maryland, delving into the dietary habits and health concerns of its populace. Their work illuminated the challenges and triumphs of promoting healthy eating in a world where temptation lurks around every corner, much like a persistent door-to-door salesman peddling the latest fad diet.

Jones (2020) contributed to the discourse by exploring the impact of viral content on public behavior, highlighting the pervasive influence of internet personalities in shaping the thoughts and actions of their loyal followers. Much like the pied pipers of yore, these modern-day digital influencers lead their audiences down virtual rabbit holes, often culminating in bewildered states of existential contemplation – not unlike pondering the enigma of a kale-infused milkshake.

Turning to non-fiction literary works, "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan and "Salt, Sugar, Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us" by Michael Moss offered enriching perspectives on modern dietary culture and the seductive power of processed foods. These profound investigations reminded us that the quest for nutritional enlightenment is akin to navigating a maze with a blindfold – a tantalizing yet baffling endeavor that often leaves us craving both knowledge and a well-deserved snack.

On the fiction front, the dystopian visions of a world governed by fad diets in Margaret Atwood's "The Edible Woman" and the culinary escapades in Joanne Harris's "Chocolat" provided whimsical parallels to our study's intrigue. It seems that even in the realm of make-believe, the enigmatic relationship between human desire and dietary decisions continues to captivate the human imagination, much like the irresistible allure of a refrigerator stocked with ice cream on a scorching summer day.

In our pursuit of knowledge, we also considered a variety of unconventional sources, including the backs of shampoo bottles, where we found ourselves immersed in a world of cryptic promises and convoluted ingredient lists. While these unconventional musings may seem tangentially related to our study at best, they served as a whimsical reminder that inspiration can strike from the unlikeliest of places, much like the sudden urge to break into a spontaneous kitchen dance party upon stumbling across a forgotten stash of chocolate truffles.

To unravel the enigmatic connection between MrBeast's clickbait-y YouTube video titles and the nutritional fabric of Maryland, our research team adopted a methodology that was as quirky as it was methodical. Our approach can be likened to crafting a perfectly balanced smoothie - combining the zesty tang of online content analysis with the wholesome crunch of labor statistics data for a blend that is both refreshing and enlightening.

Firstly, in our quest to decode the allure of MrBeast's tantalizing video titles, we harnessed the power of cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. These digital sleuths scoured the vast expanse of the YouTube platform, combing through millions of video titles, leveraging sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and clickbait indicators to discern the degree of sensationalism and enticement within each title. We rated the clickbait factor on a scale of one to ten, where ten represented the most irresistible clickbait imaginable. Our AI companions, with their undeniable knack for humor, even cracked a few jokes about the more outlandish titles they came across - after all, a bit of levity never hurt anyone in the pursuit of knowledge.

Simultaneously, we delved into the treasure trove of data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, sifting through occupations and employment figures to unearth the number of dietitians and nutritionists diligently plying their trade in the charming state of Maryland. Our data mining journey was akin to unearthing buried culinary delights, except instead of truffles, we unearthed numbers, but they were equally satisfying.

Once we had amassed a cornucopia of clickbait-y YouTube titles and a plenitude of nutritional experts, we donned our statistical aprons (metaphorically speaking) to whip up a delectable blend of correlation analysis and regression modeling. We even threw in some machine learning algorithms for good measure, treating them like the secret ingredients in a recipe that could unlock the elusive relationship between conspicuous online content and the demand for nutritional wisdom.

With a meticulous and light-hearted approach, we explored the interplay between MrBeast's alluring video titles and the professional landscape of dietitians and nutritionists in Maryland, ensuring that our investigation was as entertaining as it was academically rigorous.

Correlation r = 0.9252921 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r2 = 0.8561655 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 85.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of dietitians and nutritionists in Maryland) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How clickbait-y MrBeast's YouTube video titles are) over the 11 years from 2012 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 4.5E-5. 0.0000447144918305748960000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.93 in 0.0045% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 22,364 random variables You don't actually need 22 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 10 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 10 because we have two variables measured over a period of 11 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.73, 0.98 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!


All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
  2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
    no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
  3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
    p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
