Have this guy’s video thumbnails always been this bad?
I have a genuine curiosity for what you think thumbnails should be? If not this, then what?
The thumbnail shows the product, shows the general reactions.
What else do you want?
Personally I avoid videos with variations of the open mouth, confused face, and disappointed look these days. It’s just the area of YouTube I’ve gotten tired of, and those videos usually tend to be pretty shilly playing to the algorithm and tend to be from bigger channels. I understand why its done, but it doesn’t shield from criticism. Anyways good for them, but it has manifested in a way where because the algorithm is what dictates the product it feels like AI in a way where the presentation style gets tiring.
Honestly, when my favourite subscriptions post these thumbnails I don’t watch the video. I have one that has never done anything like this but posted their latest video with someone’s stupid shocked face on it. I won’t watch it and if they continue I’ll be unsubscribing.
I think this is just the grumpy old man coming out of me. I realise they are just trying to get more views. It’s just frustrating they got this popular without these thumbnails so why start now?
Mobile games don’t become as lucrative as it is without mtx. People understand the business reason, but it doesn’t mean it shields it from criticism. Doesn’t need defending either, since as you said money is enough to not care. You don’t really start doing that stuff if you care about perception, so I say good for them monetarily speaking. But, that’s the extent of my praise.
These “tech youtubers” are dumb AF. They keep feeding idiots anything if a brand pays them good money. They don’t understand evolving technology and their threats. Fucker kept going on about Facebook or something once. Just after facebook was accused of genocide in Myanmar.
