Fixing an incorrect number

Change "he made 67 theory videos" to "he made 68 theory videos".

The video referenced to state that there are 67 Five Nights at Freddy's theories is technically a Five Nights at Freddy's theory video and therefore it should be changed to 68 videos instead of 67.

This video was used to say that there are 67 FNAF theories on his channel, however the video also states that it itself is a FNAF theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL6mCZtaHLQ 03:31, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Obbydobby (talk)
