Look at that guy making that stupid face in the first thumbnail. I fucking hate that.
You might hate it, but it’s proven to get more people to watch the video. It sucks, but that’s how they make money to make more videos.
A lot of people don’t even read video titles anymore. They just look at the thumbnail and they’ll click if it catches their attention.
Youtube algorithm, its more or less been true that it increases viewcount, hence why channels run for profit will do it.
They do it so they can get clicks from curious kids mindlessly browsing through, it’s easy money if you are willing to sacrifice your self-respect
All the things wrong with LMG, aside, I can tell you it’s just so stupid, but these stupid thumbnails work. It’s unfortunate. But any channel that wants to reach a wider audience, not just a technical audience, those thumbnails work on masses.
I don’t want to believe most of the population is that dumb, but I’m proven wrong more times than I want to admit about how “dumb” an average person is.
Anyone who cares about repairability probably knows what they’re getting themselves into when buying TWS earbuds IMO, double thumbs down to Sony in either case.
ShortCircuit shouldn’t really be taken seriously as it’s almost an ad channel 🤷♂️… only reason to watch is for the personalities and very rare wierd tech
It’s anyone taking TT seriously? It’s more of a entertainment channel. It’s the SNL of tech reviewers.
I think many are - to some extent. For many, repairability is not important, they want a good product (spec wise) and if it breaks, they have insurance or warranty. Or worst case they’ll just buy new ones.
It a shitty mindset but a common one. Putting warrenty claims asside, specs still aren’t everything. Look at the coverage of gaming hand helds (switch/steam deck vs Asus ally). Linus thinks windows in this form factor is an advantage to the user experience because specification number goes up.
I’m glad I unsubbed from the LMG Team.
They are not what the used to be that’s for sure. I rarely watch them and when I do I normally remember why I don’t within a minute. Still hoping the will lift their game but subebed to a lot of other tech channels as they are all better than “how many USB device can you plug into a PC”.
