        That’s the way that yields the longest combined watch time from the audience.

        Do they go back and change thumbnails after a while? LTT does focus on a lot of evergreen content as well.

            YouTube gives a b testing for YouTubers based on watch time, so they can tune their thumbnails to the one that gets the most watch time. The audience doesn’t always know the history of the chanel, they need to go off the thumbnail.

        If someone cares about their view count then you shouldn’t give their content your time of day

      As part of the mindless horde of sub-intellectual gremlins, i have to say that while i dont love thumbnails like that, i still click on the video because i know it’ll be quality

            i understand even less when people are saying that when someone does something out of passion it should allow us to consume it for free

            Especially with some channels being financially successful labors of love like Red Letter Media.

      You have to understand shit like these thumbsnails arent made for people like you and me.

      They are made for the mindless horde of sub-intellectual gremlins who are incapable of rational, independent thought. The kind that run out and put sandpaper on their windshield wipers and microwave their phones to “fast recharge” them because they saw a video that said to do that.

      and the sad, terrifying reality, is these mentally stunted little goblins outnumber us by margins that are too terrifying to even think about.

          This is why I love my username.

          Cause its low hanging fruit that people who can mount no actual counter point cant resist the urge to reach for.

            Whether or not it’s a valid counter point you continue to act superior when all you achieve is be a massive dick to people that don’t mind the thumbnail or video

        well, there are quite a lot of stupid things i did as a kid. kids just need to learn critical thinking through experience.

        i would guess, that a large audience of youtube is kids: except retirees, they usually have the most free time.
