Why does making this face cause people to click youtube videos? And is there anything that could be done to counteract this effect technologically speaking?

clickbait videos just copy the style of trending videos. if gaping mouth stops working, they'll all stop.

That sounds more like a textbook case of Cargo cult.

that's the same face i make when my wife gets a new boyfriend

There isn't and its too late. You're blaming eggs for causing chickens here.

>>106822967
The part of your brain that's trying to survive directs your attention to it and you rationalize that as interest in the video

It doesn't. However, it does cause more people to see your video suggested, leading to more clicks

There is something incredibly fucking funny about the idea of a medical professional having the chance to make a genuinely informative video about conjoined twins but instead he chooses to do the cuckface over a screenshot of it kek. The more I look at it the funnier it gets

cc implies failure to deliver the results but this one does and for unknown reasons

>>106822967
>Why does making this face cause people to click youtube videos?
it doesn't. the algorithm boosts it. it's a humiliation ritual
>>
>>106824471
>but this one does
I'm still waiting for the statistic with some kind of rigor (control groups, previous popularity, etc).
The contagion between popular channels proves nothing.
>>
>>106822967
it's just the medium I guess
I can't stand that radio voice that you only hear on the radio, you know what I'm talking about. Television used to be the same way, only it was well-spoken people with good annunciation, but it became trash to reflect the audience as more people could a afford a TV. I guess that's the answer
>>
It's this >>106823525
social algos are embedded deep in our brain and if someone else is basedfacing it makes us more interested. youtube algos revealed it. i don't buy the "it's artificial" arg here >>106824536

Thumbnails like these are safe and fast to make. If it works why should you spend more time trying new things instead of moving on to your next video?
>>
Shit like this is how I know I’m probably on the spectrum somewhere. If I see a far in a thumbnail, it makes me actively avoid it. Really, faces in a video at all turns me off immensely. I don’t want to see people’s faces.
>>
It's honestly just a tactic to get dumb indians and 8 year olds to click your video.
>>
>>106824924
>our brain and if someone else is basedfacing it makes us more interested
...if you are five years old.

Preferences change as you age and your brain mantures. A söyface makes me LESS likely to click, because of the algorithm-optimized low quality slop it represents.
If it makes you more likely to click, and you are 18+, then you got a problem. Without the basic ability of pattern recognition, you will fall for every phone scam.

Only if DeArrow is a default feature but that's not gonna happen.

pretty much that faggot is just a masseur, probably has given loads of dudes happy endings.
