If he was a character in a novel who was secretly Satan, people would dismiss it for being too obvious. I mean, really, "Mr. Beast"?

a lot of the big youtubers have the same youtube thumbnail artist, and one thing they keep doing is dialling up the vibrance. something about the uncanny valley aspect that drives engagement i guess

Even mid sized channels have editors and the really big ones often have an entire production team because they're multi-million dollar businesses. The Youtube channel Watcher (made up of ex BuzzFeed people) had over a dozen staff members listed on their last video and they recently announced that they're going to dump Youtube and start their own video subscription platform. (That announcement went ..... poorly.)

It is now safe to turn off your computer.

Additionally, if you keep changing your thumbnail around there's also a good chance that some people might assume it's a new video and click on it again. :ssh:

That's my thinking too. Sometimes you'll see a thumbnail change within a few hours/days of a new video going up, but then other times you'll see old content with new a new thumb. I'm sure it's to keep a long tail of video engagement going but it also is one of the more fundamentally weird parts of the YouTube ecosystem.

I like to think of it like this.

Someone needs a thumbnail done but they suck. They search for "thumbnail artist" and they pull up people that have marketed themselves as that role.

in reality, just like any position on Earth, it's a made up role to better represent the type of work that position.

The person marketing themselves as "thumbnail artist" is just as similar to someone that does advertising, or book illustrator, or magazine design, but they are willing to be contracted to do this job.

They are making money from a niche no one is filling.

Can you blame them?

Eh it’s no different than any other cover art job but it’s a lot dumber looking than say bad book covers

Edit: I imagine it’s probably easier than most art jobs because you can copy/paste a lot of it rather than redrawing it

I understand the long 4-8 hour videos to try and monetize the people who sleep to videos, but 38 hours? Who the gently caress is going to watch that? Comatose patients, wtf? And Beverly Hillbillies? It was memorable only for being on at a time when there was gently caress all to watch.

It looks like this was an April Fools Day joke.

There's some awareness of the cadbury bunny here but I don't think I expected anyone to be attracted to it let alone being some kind of furry idol.
