Why are they so cringey and terrible? What's with all the exaggerated laughing (or any facial expression for that matter)? If you know what I mean.

Average GameFaqser: o_o.. :)

Average YouTube content creator:
OO or XDDDD:DDDD

Idiots, children, and idiot children are drawn to those thumbnails for whatever reason.

It's the same reason you go to any streamer and they're overreacting to everything and trying to be comedians.

Because they work. They might be annoying to you, but the numbers don't lie.

If you want to be successful on YouTube you have to follow the algorithm.

Clickbait.

It works when the put pretty girls in thumbnails too. Doesn't matter if they're even in the video.

My favorite is the Yogscast. They're smart enough to know that they need to do the dumb faces for the thumbnails, so they clearly just had/have a photoshoot for each member where they make a bunch of those dumb faces and then recycle them for literal years.

On my YouTube channel, I try to have the best looking thumbnails that are most visually attractive.

The content should matter most though, but that doesn't seem to get any traffic.

Anyway, I've stopped with uploading ever since YT decided to feature ads on all videos.
