Clickbait title could use another pass. What is this about?

This was the title used when I came across the video. Apparently YouTube uses many different titles for A/B testing but this is the one I got. Can't edit it now, unfortunately.

EDIT: seems like dang or team took care of it, thanks!

It makes more sense when seen on YouTube where you get the thumbnail of one of M. C. Eschers famous drawings is shown.

It’s a drawing of a guy looking at a picture of a town with himself standing in the town, but it’s all twirled and twisted so it’s self repetition isn’t obvious.

I clicked on the link and the video title is "Decoding Escher's most mind-bending piece", which is a lot better. I also had no idea what "3B1B video" meant, apparently it's a channel called "3Blue1Brown".

It's about examining the mathematical methods MC Escher used in one of his recursive drawings.
