It’s getting ridiculous. There’s one youtuber that swapped the thumbnail 4 times this week just to make people look at it again and think it was a different video. The worst part is that it sort of works, I keep looking at it then remembering I saw something very similar from the same channel name yesterday.

I hate this so damn much.

    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.
