    Unfortunately because of the way Youtube’s algorithm works, even high quality channels are buried if they don’t play the game.

        Got any examples? I don’t recall any actually quality and worthwhile channels that still use those dumb thumbnails.

            Do you have a link to the video? I casually skimmed through his video list for the past year or so, but none of the titles jumped out at me for this.

            Could also be a good example of why this extension sounds cool haha

            Edit: Found it just a few more videos below here I stopped haha. “Clickbait is Unreasonably Effective” https://youtu.be/S2xHZPH5Sng
