This tactic probably worked the first ten times it was done … but it’s completely useless now
Every time I see this kind of thumbnail, I actively avoid the video, channel and the creator
It’s only gotten subtle, can’t avoid it
The extension DeArrow gets rid of the annoying thumbnails and titles
How do you know to avoid the Video/channel then?
Thank fuck for Dearrow!
I remember watching a video where the guy was reaming influencer culture.
He referred to that face as the “dick sucking face”, and I can’t unsee it now.

EDIT: Holy shit, I found it. It’s from The Hated One, on a video he made about YouTube three years ago. The dick sucking thumbnail comment is at around 3:33: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZZ59HOdAbI
And either the word “shocking” or “nightmare” is being used
Well, to be fair, there really are a lot of shocking nightmares going on these days.
BANNED!!!
What’s sad is that making a good thumbnail/poster for a form of media is truly an art to itself.
Some movie posters have taught me that you can capture attention, be witty AND have artistic merit.
The oh noes duckface.
More than one has complained about how dumb it is yet how well it works. Another version of Don’t Hate The Player, I guess
