    The only reason they’re that bad is cause it’s what people click on. I do agree they look terrible but it’s what draws people in.

      Oxymoron maybe? Why would we click on things we don’t like? Try new not bad thumb and get clicks or do we all just hate ourselves and want to see the worst content ever made?

        Unfortunately it’s fully supported by the statistics and multiple large channels have tried to get away from the shitty thumbnails, but those videos get significantly less clicks.

        We can hate it, but it works.
