Wendover has the most obvious, telegraphed segues. On top of that, the sponsorship is left at the end of the video. Linus on the other hand I completely agree with.
- ajayyy 7y agoI haven't watched wendover in over a year since I was sick of his sponsorships, but I remember never knowing when the end of a video was, because the sponsors were part of the same sentence.
- codeisawesome 7y agoUgh as long as we’re all complaining - I HATE Linus’ thumbnails these days! The overweight man in them is intentionally photographed to make him look less presentable to attract eyeballs. Thumbnail manipulation sucks!!!
- viraptor 7y agoWhat do you mean by intentionally less presentable? Anthony looks the same as in videos. He's not your classical movie model, but he's a member of the staff - he leads almost all the videos with him in the thumbnail. How is that manipulation?
- codeisawesome 7y agoSorry, I didn’t know his name and my comment seems extra cruel (FWIW I was overweight just as much, once). So I dunno, I feel like they stick the camera up in his face and do a low angle shot. It makes him look odd, which makes you look at the thumbnail. Also, he never smiles in the thumbnails, which adds to the oddness. Finally there was one thumbnail recently where he was bending his neck in a weird way, I don’t like it. Nobody needs to be a movie model, but some basic grooming and presentability is important.
- COGlory 7y agoI think it's just shyness/awkwardness. Wendell from L1T used to look the same back when he was part of the TekSyndicate channel. Eventually he sharpened up his appearance and his on-camera demeanor.
