If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it's gone. So Youtube being Youtube.
Here's a Odysee mirror of the video, https://odysee.com/@jopec:7/linus-tech-tips-degoogle-your-life-part-2-adfree-youtube:0.

Well that's a thumbnail I'd never click on
nothing to see here :)

If someone cares about their view count then you shouldn’t give their content your time of day
Permanently Deleted
They make them because it’s fun/they are passionate
And that makes them higher quality

You need to spend more time around small channels
LTT is a good example of how what you’re saying is bullshit. All the money in the world but they’re still tech illiterate people making tech videos

I guess it depends what you’re looking for

If you want budget builds
You have I have very different ideas of tech illiterate. Most of the hosts have forgotten more than I care to learn. I guess if you work very technical tech stuff 24-7 you have a higher standard.
Dude, this isn't the Youtube of 2006 anymore.
Content creating, whether for TV, Radio, or Internet is a job.
Just ignore the people trying to change that
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.
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
And that's why I have Dearrow. Bye bye bait thumbnails and titles.
Problem is that these people still get views then
nothing to see here :)
Especially with some channels being financially successful labors of love like Red Letter Media.
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
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.
Aren't you just such a smart, special, edgy boy
Weird take, but you do you man.
Username checks out
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
Projecting a bit with that whole "Acting superior" claim, aintcha.
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.
nothing to see here :)
We should all endeavor to learn from your shining example.
All of their thumbnails are unfortunately click-baity. They spoke about ut in an older video. Apparently, the click-baity images drive too much traffic for them to justify something more subtle.
Oh, no I totally get it. I'm well aware I'm in the tiny minority that are put off by them. It's just the kind of illusion that once it gets broken you can no longer unsee it.
It's the same with clickbait headlines. If it's a question, the answer is no.
"Is this the end of Russia?"
No.
keeps on scrolling
There's a Firefox plugin that replaces YT thumbnails with stills from the video. It makes browsing YT so much better.
Why does this and maybe something to replace the title with just an accurate thesis statement kind of titlesounds so good to me!
Dearrow does both.
what the shit is going on with that neon ass hair
They let Luke bleach it on the wan show.
He's never done it before, and took too long so some parts are ultra blonde and others are barely different.
Doesn't matter how good the video is if nobody clicks on it, Veritasium already made a great one about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2xHZPH5Sng
