Why do these retarded youtubers keep putting their ugly faces on youtube thumbnails? Every single fucking time I get these videos recommended with these dumbass egomaniacs and their disgusting faces. Why can't they just keep a normal thumbnail? They look like fucking morons.

Point is to make themselves reconizeable and an eceleb associated with their given channel, thats all there is to it.
To go off on an annecdote, there was this youtuber with high effort edited videos I liked to watch, he used pretty exclusively an edited frog image as a sort of cartoony avatar when talking, and got big. But then after going to a tuber event or whatever he got miffed that people didnt recognise him in person. End result he mostly dropped the frog avatar and puts his face on video at every chance he gets.

What ever happened to that Madison girl that used to work at LTT that was being sexually assaulted by James? I thought Linus said he was going to fire the person who abused her.
>>
>>106960601
literally to get clicks
the human brain has evolved to recognize faces so if you put a face in the thumbnail then it is more likely that people will look at the thumbnail and your chances of people clicking increase
>>
>>106960601
Most people are apparently morons and listen to their monkey brain and click on it.

you stopped watching or something? also howd you know all that about him

Independent investigation did their thing and found she was making it all up just like you are. Linus (smartly) didn’t say anything about this incident because he’s not retarded
>>
>>106960601
There's something like a greater than 100% lift in click rate if the thumbnail has a face in it over those that don't and that's been the case for over a decade.

You mean the girl who hacked up her own leg because she was so stressed about making 3 WHOLE TIK TOKS A WEEK wasn't being genuine?? I can't believe it!

what do you mean?

>>106960601
Unfortunately, it does better for click throughs. The reality is that a nice classy thumbnail does not get clicked on nearly as much as the gaudy ones do.

reminder that lenis tech tips bullied a mother and her child to suicide and got away with it and remains unrepentant to this day

>>106962812
>you stopped watching or something?
Basically, but not because of the face thing.
>also howd you know all that about him
The guy said it on video, this wasnt anything hidden.
>>
didn't this guy fire someone because his wife hit on them?
>>
>>106960601
Unironically I agree, I'm 30yo khhv so I wish they wod just put pretty girls in thumbnails and some are smart enough to do so. It might just be years of loneliness but most men are honestly horrible looking to me and fill me with revulsion.

Why does he have that tails x baby look on his face

If it wasn't true, why were LTT employees secretly recording the HR meeting after she was bullied into quitting and the recording caught James making a sexist joke during their sexual harassment meeting? It doesn't seem like she made it up.

That's nuts. They bullied a girl so bad at LTT that she ended up cutting her leg? Poor girl. James gives off those creeper vibes. And shame on Linus for encouraging the sexual harassment.

Did you know Mr Beast's team make over 100 different thumbnails for every single video changing everything from the entire scenario to minute details like the whiteness level of MrBeast's teeth or if they are showing at all?

They've discovered recently that the mouth shape that is performing best right now is him making a grimacing or somewhat strained face.

It really bothers me when people say "the algorithm likes faces."
Do they think Google is running a CNN on YouTube thumbnails or do they actually know it's just human cybernetics and human behavior itself makes them uncomfortable so they want to blame software? Either one sounds terrible to me. Just say it like it is.

You are part of the problem.
