Idk what you're talking about the thumbnail building looks very pointy.

I think that might be why they chose that thumbnail 🤔 😅

Does this vid covers the Dublin Spire?

You can get away with flat (or at least less steep) roofs in places like Ireland that don't tend to have heavy snow load issues.

The title is a bit of a joke against the thumbnail - "pointless" here means "purposeless." The video is about structures built that do not serve a traditional function, e.g. they exist only for aesthetics, or just to make someone "earn" money rather than donating money.

Yes.
