I loved old YouTube, these days i hardly go so maybe I'm not getting a good perspective but it seems every thumbnail is exactly the same, some brightly colored photo of a 20-something staring off camera with a comically open mouth. Am i missing something?
Yeah it's really fucking cringey and dumb but it does work. Like, those exact thumbnails somehow get more clicks and views. I don't get it, I don't think I ever will, but they're doing something right with this.
Not missing anything, that's just the current style that gets the most views. It'll eventually change to something different and everyone will adopt that new style for a while.
