I loved that show. When I was 9 or so I'd watch it every Saturday at 10:30am on channel 14 with my cousin.

So is it some subconscious thing youtubers are learning to tap in on that, if you have an annoying or punchable face or make an aggravating expression, you'll get more views?

Like almost every big youtuber I've seen always choose the most irritating expressions for there thumbnails (like that horrible try guys mega meme vid)

That's marketing trends for you :shrug:. If it's working for some people everyone else might as well do the same thing. Eventually people will get sick of it, then someone comes along and does something different, but also does it well enough that it makes other content creators want to change.

Hi incognito window, I'm Youtube!

Since I don't know who you are or what you like, I'd better play it safe and recommend some totally inoffensive, non-confrontational children's programming

He makes good vids though because most of these dorks just upload themselves talking and lazily pick some random video gameplay "background" footage that they use for the "video" when what they actually post are podcasts. (BoredGamer for example.) The guy above (YongYea) actually puts effort into his videos and shows screenshots, photos, and clips that are relevant to what he's talking about. He gets like hundreds of thousands of views per video and most of his vids are ripping on devs for being asses. :D

Thumbnails are still terrible though. :cool:
