Really. Every single thumbnail, looks so the same.

I swear to god if I see some random bullshit text in the thumbnail that just spoils like everything of the video with some stupidly overedited bullshit on some random crappy picture, I will fucking delete my entire watch list. >=(

Actually wait, I am probably about to do this right now, because it's like way too common anyways... Maybe my watch list will be indeed blessed instead of these bullshit documentaries on some random dude or something. ._.

well this is the result of clickbait becoming the norm (and everyone having to use it to compete)

The only somewhat clickbait thumbnail I got was this (though he actually does the thing). Yes, I'm shilling this random British guy again.

Warning: I am about to nitpick super hard on these thumbnails. >:/

Like this one. On the left side, random anime girl thing and on the other that stupid text that just says "It failed!", like what who HUHHH??? FAILED??? Like I just hate it so much when the thumbnails just want to spoil something that's actually so vague and not detailed... As if it just magnetically wants to attract you of like why it failed or how it failed or something like that and then the pissy piss yellow text below aswelll... Ughhh that's just adding lemons into the top instead of cherries even though both of them taste sour. Also the background is literally two completely different backgrounds with some random white stripe like wow that's the background haha... And like it all just looks completely detached and shouldn't really have been combined into one like COME ON!!! I really hate this thumbnail.. -_-




Again the two background split thingy with the straight line thing, also holy f*ck why the donkey kong does the title have to be SO LONG? Like jeez no need to add so many words onto some random ass video you have made...




I swear to god the thumbnail would have been so much better it that brown robot thing would be on top of the trashcan mountain and remove the stupid text plz... It just sucks that thumbnails just HAVE TO have that stupid text thing on top of the video... I feel like the cringy 2016-2018 thumbnails looked better than some of the newer ones to be honest for real even if they looked super cringe and actually bad and too quirky. -_-




Oh wow again bland white text thing with an arrow and gatorade? and steak??? Wooow... This is so entertaining to watch that I'll never look at it in the first place... Surprisingly enough with the bad title it reminds me of these 2016-2018 cringe thumbnails for a bit... Ehh whatever I don't care for this stupid crap...



wha- What's with that completely unnecessary question mark and then these arrows??? WHATTT? And then a completely random red circle, it's like I'm almost laughing at how purely pathetic it really is! Really just remove these stupid little arrows and question marks and that weird red circle thing and look, so much better than your last 1st gradish attempt!




I swear everything until the stupid text and the stupid arrow thing looks fine...

DANG IT! Shouldn't the text have turned at least red??? And not black, that black text thing and arrow ruins like 80% of the thumbnail I swear to god...



Okay okay I get that it's the cassic blue background you're getting used to it, but why the big ass text and that geometry dash emoji difficulty thing? Huh? It just kinda looks bad... Eughhh... Whatever moving on...



Wha- What? $7 000 000? $7 000 000??????? Wha- Huh? Why that stupid red crosshair thing and wha- YOU'RE POINTING IT AT THE MIDDLE OF THE DIAGRAM, what the barnacle head has it something to do with this??? Like what? Did WW2 happen? Did the economical 2008 crisis thing happen? Did your girlfriend break up on that timeline? Like seriously what's that middle thing doing? It's like forcefully giving attention to an innocent person that just gets completely confused on what's going on, without even asking for permission, no like just pointing at this dude for no real reason whats o ev er.



I do NOT like the bottom text that just says "everything you type", like literally that's just freaking spoilin' everything. NOT a good move in my opinion!



I feel like the title should have been changed... Like literally for real it sucks...



Really is that it? Frogs turn black? Like okay jeez like jesus christ it maaay be true, but cmon focus on showing something more important than just frogs turning into a different color. Who cares if they are black? It's not like they are going to turn into monsters when they are black...



Eww... These classic horrible tier list thumbnails... Where there's a friking tier list that has like A B and then OH NO!!! F TIER! O_O (that can also be quite literally fake...) And then the red rectangle thing and like whaaat? Are you trying to copy SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSesSniperwolfs Thumbnails??? Like seriously... That little piece of the stupid golden hoe that just steals content in order to get rich? Sorry, but not sorry! That itself is already considered a sin in my eyes. -_- And also that "I have ranked every david!" thing.. Please...why do the titles have to be sometimes so generic and lame???



Generic title thing, but I'm much more so kinda triggered about the stupid white text that says "12k+ lines of code" and then a stupid arrow on some random blocks... Like seriously? That text on the thumbnail and the title of video itself. IT DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANYTHING aside from the fact that it's like some code thing idk...



And last one, but OH MY WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY WHHHHHHHHY!!!!!!

I freaking despise the twitter thumbnail thing where it's like at if it's a real twitter post...

I F*********CKING HATE THIS SO MUCH FROM JUST LOOKING AT IT!

The sonic going: "Oh no wtf babe that's so cringe babe oh no oh no now I have to make a worried face gesture oh no I feel like my face has been turned into some husband worrying about everything!!! Oh no gentleman can you please give some beer at me even though I'm drunk already? Can you please massage me for 4 hours, but please don't interrupt my sleeping during your massage thing! Oh wait what's that I see? Oh yeah uhhhh you can paaaaaaaa-leasetzzzzzzzzz police...haha get it? I said police hahahah whatever can you please DELETE THIS STOOPID THUMBNAIL AND MAKE SOMETHING ELSE JUST IDK DRAW SOME MSPAINT PIC BECAUSE THAT LOOKS WAY BETTER THAN THIS STUPID TIWTTER THUMBNAIL I SWEAR!!!

And like literally it's just such stupid text like "Sonic is 8-bit!" and then oh no warning community warning whatever that forgettable twitter update was be like: oh no wtf no whhhhhhhaaaaaa what the fahck sonic is not 8 bit he's like over 9000 bit yooo! That is ILLEGAL! *bfdi scream* O_O

Seriously. Can these youtubers stop making twitter thumbnails. Liek literally twitter is so shitty, can't you guys be more rational and intelligent by not using twitter anymore? Please. This website is just designed to hate EVERYBODY you see and meet!


Okay end of the nitpicky stuff...

Honestly I want to see a thumbnail you consider good, + I think the owiebrainhurt thumbnail is pretty good, if the text was red then it would blend in with the rest of the stuff, and the rest of the thumbnail looks quite good IMO

Okay end of the nitpicky stuff...
I actually watched the 9th video (the Windows 11 telemetry) and it's not click bait. But isn't Winodws stealing all of your data something that a lot of people knows or assume?
Patatitta
also, I don't get your point about spoiling stuff, for example, in the windows video corne pointed out, that video is meant to be informative, it isn't art, it isn't trying to tell a story. You ARE supposed to spoil the contents of the video, not every youtube channel is tim rogers

Okay end of the nitpicky stuff...
The warning was indeed needed. By the way, the extension linked at the start of this discussion does look nice and you can even contribute. The difference is less clickbait and much better titles.
Serraionga
clickbait thumbnails have been a staple amongst yt for over a decade at this point. you're a little late on this
