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?
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.
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.
