If they don’t do those thumbnails out of principle, they lose a significant chunk of revenue.
It’s a small annoyance for a small number of viewers, and there are browser extensions you can get which fix clickbaity thumbnails. The clear choice is to do the thumbnails
I guess. I only heard about him a year or so ago and it seemed like his thumbnails were more "normal"just that recently.
Click-baityness aside, it just reeks of vapid, shallow, content. I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but if I see Fabio on the cover of a book, I know I’m in the wrong section so there’s some merit to it.
I’m not going to get my tech insight from someone who makes their content look like this.
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.
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?
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.
Why do you guys give a shit about thumbnails? The titles and description are way more informative for me. I curse bad titles way more. And this is a good title.
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.
Have this guy’s video thumbnails always been this bad?
he knows what the algorithm wants

It’s not the worst. I don’t have a problem with mkbhd’s thumbnails.
The almighty algorithm forces it. I don’t care as long as it’s not outright misleading
Yeah, you don’t get to his size without clickbaiting

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?

Less cringeworthy thumbnails? What else do YOU want?
The thumbnail should be the frame closest to the middle of the video’s runtime, with no regard for context. I have an extension that does just that.
There’s an extension for de-clickbaiting thumbnails
He’s just the classic YT clickbait content. Much better out there, smaller channels are where the quality content is, not these big cash farming ones.

Yet this video is very negative about the device, unless I’m missing something about your comment?
