    Robert Reich doing that "Youtube Minstrel" face for his videos is the last straw. he may be having fun, but i draw the line with Youtube Minstrelsy.

    he’s just fucking annoying.

      I have a plugin that replaces all thumbnails with random stills from the video. I just don't want to play the game. I don't want second guess if I'm being influenced or over correct. It also replaces the titles with simple user-submitted descriptions with the aim of removing click bait and hype.

      The latter makes it much easier to find things I really want to see.

      @futurebird
      Ugh I hate this so much

      Feels like an unpatched bug in the human wetware that is ruthlessly exploited by the YouTube recommender system

      @KimberlyN @blogdiva

      People are much more likely to click on a video with a human face, ideally expressing extreme emotion. If there are other images that suggest a story or *mystery* even better.

      This was true three years ago. I wonder if it is still true.

      @KimberlyN @blogdiva

      When they pose for the thumbnail with their mouth open and eyes popping out.

      Just mugging it up.

      This has been proven to increase engagement which I find deeply baffling.

      This guy at the ants forum changed his thumbnails so every one was him going sort of "WHOA" to a photo of an ant and his views jumped. That's about when I stopped making ant videos. I don't get it.

      I’m not sure what a “YouTube minstrel face” looks like. 🤷♀️

      @dank

      I'm so deeply ad-blocked and click-bait blocked (and I don't really do things like Netflix or cable) that when I see an add on a screen on the subway I'm like a person from the past and horrified, scandalized, astonished, and generally much less able to cope than most people I think.

      Because it's the only video ad I've seen all week ... maybe longer.

      *clutching pearls*

      "A motion picture advertisement! What is this nonsense!?"

      @futurebird @dank same! i only use YT via Freetube, and have used adblockers for +20 years now. and now have a VPN with filters. all of that and more to have a normal web experience, like before fucking google fucked things up with their SEO ponzi scheme. so it shocks when i see people raw dogging it AND with the chrome browser.

      literally wrote blog post when i was invited to try it out and i was like, why? if it’s google’s it’s spyware.

      and here we are 🙄

      @blogdiva The last straw for me was him going all in on "blue MAGA".
