    Because its proven to generate more views, why do people criticize the guy for trying to make a living? Literally every other big youtuber does this… Its effective. I do not understand why people hate someone for complying to an industry norm. Do you also hate real estate agents for putting their smiling face on billboards? Lol.

      Totally agree. The content may be good, but title and thumbnail are marketing only. A silly thumbnail doesn’t make the content worse, so nothing wrong in the creator trying to use it as a way to increase their reach
