I get him recommended all the time but his thumbnails and doomer titles don’t look appealing (they’re all 1/3 his face). In general, if all a Thumbnail/title elicits is some kind of emotionally loaded tired cliche (AI will kill us all, Reading is dead, We were this close to all being hacked by Jia Tan, Overpopulation, Underpopulation, the decay of [Art Form, Daily Pastime, Emotion, Other Noun], We Did Transgressive Investigative Journalism, Epic Scientist Battle of the Equations, you may add to gis list) I don’t watch it. If it promises cool news about topic, or personal story, I do. Also, I still hate Enrico Tartarotti for some insufficiently explained reason. (he made a video basically dissing vim at some point, and I don’t even know how to use vim)

      I’m not talking about the content, I’m referring to the clickbait thumbnails that I thought this post was about.

      It’s designed to catch the attention of people that have 5 second attention spans and can’t form an opinion without the help of others.
