I hate those obnoxious Youtube thumbnails.
Seriously. Why the hell is the guy’s face in there anyway? I would understand if it was Nvidia’s logo that was large as hell. I imagine it might be to tell his followers “it’s me” but whatever.
Because humans love faces. We love looking at them, we love seeing them. Our brains are wired to handle facial recognition very well and be drawn to faces.
In fact, the effect is so strong that we often see faces where none exist
People being drawn to faces has led to thumbnails with faces on getting far more attention. Tbh, if you were trying to make a YT channel your job, it’s very likely you’d start doing it too.
Well, I hate human faces on youtube video thumbnails.
I want to see a preview of the content instead of being biologically exploited into clicking on it.

Ok then, but you’re very much in the minority. People wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work.
