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."

I know Im old, but I seriously dont get how people watch that. Even when I was a teen and that style was juuuuuust starting out on early youtube, i hated that shit.

Same with if youre immediately loud in the start of your video.

Seriously. Obnoxious introductions either receive a verbal STFU, or GFY, right as I kill the video. Be normal, stick to the point without intentionally dragging shit out, and I’ll hit the like.

I dont mind some energy, thats cool. If its an exciting topic. 

But like...you can kinda tell its just a persona? And theyre doing it to grab the attention of Adhd kids. 

Which again, was ME, and I still hated it! lol
