Its all about the YT algorithms though Ive been watching a lot of HPRshredders retro gaming videos lately. Guy isnt super popular yet or anything, but I like his voice and the videos always have an interesting, chill vibe.

Anyway, he talks specifically about obnoxious thumbnails in one of his vids. Basically, he hated them and originally planned on never doing any stupid ones with his face, but then he tried it one time and the YT algorithm ended up spreading out the vid to a much larger extent, which he wasnt expecting at all.

So, necessary evil, pretty much. Although with how big Mr Beast is now Im sure he could stop and it wouldnt make much of a difference at all.

I think calling stupid looking thumbnails a "necessary evil" is a little extreme.

It's basically part of his brand at this point.
