    Maybe just me but I’ve been really tired of Linus for like… years now. Typical youtuber clickbait thumbnail open mouth faced bullshit.

        He’s said before that he hates it, but including one of those thumbnails boosts viewership by 30%. I certainly don’t like it, but it would be really hard for me to resist that extra income too.

          Steve at GN and also Level1Techs kind of do the same thing a little bit, but not enough to turn me off from their content. It also helps that their content is accurate.

        It’s been that way for years. I had to stop watching shortly after they moved out of that first house when they stopped putting product names into video titles.
