If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it’s gone. So Youtube being Youtube.
Here’s a Odysee mirror of the video, https://odysee.com/@jopec:7/linus-tech-tips-degoogle-your-life-part-2-adfree-youtube:0.
Their video about thumbnail A/B testing was quite interesting to see. Considering how they have dedicated designers to make these thumbnails I guess that works pretty well, despite your personal opinion on it, with which I agree too.

That’s the way that yields the longest combined watch time from the audience.
Do they go back and change thumbnails after a while? LTT does focus on a lot of evergreen content as well.

YouTube gives a b testing for YouTubers based on watch time, so they can tune their thumbnails to the one that gets the most watch time. The audience doesn’t always know the history of the chanel, they need to go off the thumbnail.
If someone cares about their view count then you shouldn’t give their content your time of day

They make them because it’s fun/they are passionate
And that makes them higher quality

You need to spend more time around small channels
LTT is a good example of how what you’re saying is bullshit. All the money in the world but they’re still tech illiterate people making tech videos

I guess it depends what you’re looking for

If you want budget builds
You have I have very different ideas of tech illiterate. Most of the hosts have forgotten more than I care to learn. I guess if you work very technical tech stuff 24-7 you have a higher standard.
It’s just the constant falsehoods and misleading
Dude, this isn’t the Youtube of 2006 anymore.
Content creating, whether for TV, Radio, or Internet is a job.
Just ignore the people trying to change that
As part of the mindless horde of sub-intellectual gremlins, i have to say that while i dont love thumbnails like that, i still click on the video because i know it’ll be quality
And that’s why I have Dearrow. Bye bye bait thumbnails and titles.
Problem is that these people still get views then
People start yt channels for a lot of reason and probably the biggest reason is money. I don’t really understand your fixation over yt channels only being passion project.
i understand even less when people are saying that when someone does something out of passion it should allow us to consume it for free
Especially with some channels being financially successful labors of love like Red Letter Media.
You have to understand shit like these thumbsnails arent made for people like you and me.
They are made for the mindless horde of sub-intellectual gremlins who are incapable of rational, independent thought. The kind that run out and put sandpaper on their windshield wipers and microwave their phones to “fast recharge” them because they saw a video that said to do that.
and the sad, terrifying reality, is these mentally stunted little goblins outnumber us by margins that are too terrifying to even think about.
Aren’t you just such a smart, special, edgy boy
Weird take, but you do you man.
Username checks out
This is why I love my username.
Cause its low hanging fruit that people who can mount no actual counter point cant resist the urge to reach for.
Whether or not it’s a valid counter point you continue to act superior when all you achieve is be a massive dick to people that don’t mind the thumbnail or video
Projecting a bit with that whole “Acting superior” claim, aintcha.
well, there are quite a lot of stupid things i did as a kid. kids just need to learn critical thinking through experience.
i would guess, that a large audience of youtube is kids: except retirees, they usually have the most free time.
Yes, because nothing says “intellectual superiority” quite like ranting about thumbnails on the internet…
We should all endeavor to learn from your shining example.
