i always find this funny because i’ve noticed myself only clicking on videos once someone changes the thumbnail in dearrow, most clickbait thumbnails and titles are literally less interesting to me than a dry description of what the video is about

you’d think youtube could use the ability to show different thumbnails to different people so i’m not shown things that clearly actively makes some people not click on videos, but of course they are incapable of considering anything but appealing to the majority…

i feel this way about the vast majority of capitalist slop, it’s genuinely profoundly unnerving and the idea that normal people see it and actively think it’s appealing makes me fucking terrified, it makes them feel like skinwalkers who’ll have The Thing sprout of out their flesh one day
