    Unfortunately because of the way Youtube’s algorithm works, even high quality channels are buried if they don’t play the game.

        Got any examples? I don’t recall any actually quality and worthwhile channels that still use those dumb thumbnails.

            Edit: Found it just a few more videos below here I stopped haha. “Clickbait is Unreasonably Effective” https://youtu.be/S2xHZPH5Sng
