YouTube Thumbnail hate thread

[Chongqing]

The shocked face ones are even worse when it's a true crime video.

You know who I hate? Stephanie Soo (the Korean bobblehead child girl who said Nicocado triggered her into feeling like she was re-experiencing days of rape). She has a God-awful true crime channel that's all about her.

I think what is worse is the fucking titles clearly designed to try and get you to click "X did Y, then THIS happened!" type shit

 

[Action Orange]

I can't decide if I hate slop thumbnails more or titles with "can you do x without y" or any of the algorithm buzzwords like "entitled" or "racist".

I had a pokemon video recommended to me whose title was "Can you beat pokemon with only Mewtwo???". Mewtwo is straight up the strongest character in the game. The vidyagame challenge run meta has gone too far.

Sounds like every dumbass Generation Nope Hope video title.

 

[Something Awful]

Fuck off

 

[Agares]

The amount of sensationalist AI slop thumbnails I’ve seen is crazy and the algorithm is pushing them too.

 

[Munchin' on Some Grindage]

Benny Johnson has the worst thumbnails by far. They're all ai slop with overexaggerated faces. I will hit "Do Not Recommend Channel" any time I see creators do this bullshit.

 

[Brenda Holiday]

Look up "fair food", all that salt and sugar must fry the brains of these content creators because there's not a single normal thumbnail.
I refuse to click on videos with ridiculous thumbnails or stupid clickbait titles but clearly I'm a minority because they end up with millions of views so I can't even blame anyone for doing this shit, it works.

“Can you beat X game with a perfectly viable weapon?”
Absolutely hate those kinds of videos. Ymfah is the only good challenge YouTuber I know of

 

[Sooty Soot]

I miss the simpler times, bros

 

[WilliamDeLaPole]

I hate the ones where the person points to text. It's basically the same as using that obnoxious giant red arrow, but instead, they always have that weird stare and crooked fake smile while angling their body sideways.

I'm noticing YouTube is feeding me a lot of videos that have thumbnails similar to this. For whatever reason this one annoys me more than the others I've seen.

One of that guy's videos was just recommended to me, and I watched about 2 minutes of it before exiting because it was so fucking annoying. His editing style is extremely obnoxious and his music is louder than his dialogue.

I don't know who this sanpaku-eyed niggerfaggot is, but I want to watch him get ripped apart by starving shitbulls.

 

[Krystal]

No mention of the infamous Shane Dawson thumbnails. Arguably, the precursor to the soyjack thumbnails of both yesteryear and today.

 

[The News Crews]

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, THE THUMBNAIL NEEDS ME AND MY UGLY FACE TO BE THE MAIN FOCUS. HOW ELSE WILL THEY KNOW SLAVERY IS BAD?!

 

[Archie_Kimkicker]

AAAAAAH

 

[Retarded of the Month]

The last two examples, what's the point?
The first I only see a faggot in the middle of two reality opposite images, the second, an "hello fellow kids" haired middle aged woman and an inconclusive 3 word phrase
