I've seen a lot of "youtube" couples and whenever I look at them I can't help but image anything else but the fights they get into over gaining viewers and statistics. That seems so bleak and depressing I don't know why anyone would put their relationship through that.

It gets even darker if there are kids involved. :smith:

I was actually thinking the shocked/spooked emoji would be the “default” emoji

Honestly it’s a wonderfully made thumbnail for what it wants to do. If you look at the top you see “$1000?” and if you look at either side you see the idiot or the rear end in a top hat (which is which is subjective to the reader), and both of these guide to the the center piece at the top, which guides to the other face. All it needs is something at the bottom to go from the second face and guide back to the first face and you have a perfectly distracting loop that you can never quite see in one go

You’re not wrong; in context, it’s totally apropos. I just think that stupid loving laughcry emoji is way overused so of course they’ll use it in a thumbnail.

I've seen enough "terrible Doom WAD that are also known as Terry WADs" videos to know that horrible things happen to the player seconds later. Textures of a face set to Tile is a Terry trademark.

A fortnite streamer left his mic on and it picked up him beating and harassing his wife and he was arrested, which goes to show that most people who stream are garbage people.

The algorithm sees all.


A week or so ago I off-handedly mentioned Mount & Blade in a thread and just an hour later my recs were filled with Mount & Blade videos, despite that being the only time I've even thought of the game in the last three years. The tutorial-with-coder-face image I posted appeared for me just after the javascript one was posted in this thread.

The machine knows more about you than you ever could.

Don't hotlink images from youtube, it probably counts viewing the thumbnail as getting linked to the video or something.

Alternatively, always hotlink images from youtube if it counts viewing the thumbnail as getting linked to the video :madmax:

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop

I was legit planning on dropping tons of Caillou Gets Grounded thumbnails and other such fare.

Seriously there are thousands and thousands of those videos???
