      You have to understand shit like these thumbsnails arent made for people like you and me.

      They are made for the mindless horde of sub-intellectual gremlins who are incapable of rational, independent thought. The kind that run out and put sandpaper on their windshield wipers and microwave their phones to “fast recharge” them because they saw a video that said to do that.

      and the sad, terrifying reality, is these mentally stunted little goblins outnumber us by margins that are too terrifying to even think about.

          This is why I love my username.

          Cause its low hanging fruit that people who can mount no actual counter point cant resist the urge to reach for.

            Whether or not it’s a valid counter point you continue to act superior when all you achieve is be a massive dick to people that don’t mind the thumbnail or video

        well, there are quite a lot of stupid things i did as a kid. kids just need to learn critical thinking through experience.

        i would guess, that a large audience of youtube is kids: except retirees, they usually have the most free time.

                You need to spend more time around small channels

                LTT is a good example of how what you’re saying is bullshit. All the money in the world but they’re still tech illiterate people making tech videos

                  You have I have very different ideas of tech illiterate. Most of the hosts have forgotten more than I care to learn. I guess if you work very technical tech stuff 24-7 you have a higher standard.

              Dude, this isn’t the Youtube of 2006 anymore.

              Content creating, whether for TV, Radio, or Internet is a job.

        That’s the way that yields the longest combined watch time from the audience.

        Do they go back and change thumbnails after a while? LTT does focus on a lot of evergreen content as well.

            YouTube gives a b testing for YouTubers based on watch time, so they can tune their thumbnails to the one that gets the most watch time. The audience doesn’t always know the history of the chanel, they need to go off the thumbnail.
