Is their a virtuous cycle in searching "pycon" in YouTube?

The first video is actually very informative. Apart from that I am damn sure it is popular because of the YouTube thumbnail.

You can say it. The boobs in the thumbnail are definitely click bait (inb4 someone thinks I'm saying something about the lady's intentions, just click bait in terms of baiting clicks), and the stats are there to back it up. Unless someone has another reason why it has as much views as the next 7 videos combined.

WebAssembly is more interesting/hyped to the general programming population than Python?

Probably a lot of JavaScript/frontend people have at least a passing interest in WebAssembly, while maybe not caring so much about Python.
