It’s getting ridiculous. There’s one youtuber that swapped the thumbnail 4 times this week just to make people look at it again and think it was a different video. The worst part is that it sort of works, I keep looking at it then remembering I saw something very similar from the same channel name yesterday.

I hate this so damn much.

    Yeah, i think they’re testing what will drive click. I noticed channel like kurzgesagt will initially post it with very clickbaity thumbnail and title, then will swap to less clickbaity one. It’s annoying but i do understand why they do this. Makes me appreciate those who don’t join the enshittification race.
