Part of the issue with endless carousels of thumbnails now is that the thumbnails are almost invariable clickbait now. What will I actually get? I have no idea.

Part of the issue with endless carousels of thumbnails now is that the thumbnails are almost invariable clickbait now. What will I actually get? I have no idea. Even YouTube channels I genuinely enjoy use thumbnails which are entirely different from the actual content. I suppose sensationalism has taken over.
- madrox 2y agoYou can't blame creators for playing the game. All they have is that thumbnail to market their content.
- steve_adams_86 2y agoNo, I don't blame them at all. I make the odd YouTube video and the choice not to use these thumbnails is essentially a choice to stay irrelevant. Not to say sensational thumb nails would help; I make boring videos. But even if they were meant to be more interesting, that choice would clearly be self-sabotaging.
