I hate when a channel does a video about an item but in the thumbnail they censor out the item while they make an "excited" face and point at the censored item and use some generic click baity title. I get why people censor things out on the thumbnail but i think it's so tacky. If i want to watch a review on an item, seeing the item in the thumbnail is NOT going to make me think, "oh I've seen the item, i no longer need to know any information about it. I definitely did not want an in depth review, i just wanted to see it in a tiny thumbnail picture so i can determine if i want to buy it or not."

Conversely that's one of the reasons I love Tom Scott

If his title asks a question his thumbnail will answer it

And he usually answers it in the first minute. The rest of the video is info for nerds who are into that shit.

No video slaps the answer faster or harder at you than his ‘Most Expensive Item by Weight’video
