well, most people are not content creators, more like drama creators.

Blame yt algorithms lol
Those shocking faces does increase views
Tschmelz2026-01-02 14:14
Bruh, more like the state of content creation in general. It’s all gotta be clickbaity bullshit to break through algorithms and stuff.
Flimsy-Writer602026-01-02 14:45
And the one that actually doing the normal/honest content get shove aside. Welcome to YouTube algorithm where we can't handle swears or blood in game but we are fine with porn and gambling slops.
FoolishPerformer2026-01-02 14:15
I hate how the YouTube algorithm encourages those stupid thumbnails
Ecstatic-Source60012026-01-02 16:00
Well youtube has nothing to do with it directly
Stupid faces just work on kids. 🤷
If people wouldn't be clicking on that we would have normal thumbnails
At least red circle with arrow meta is gone
youarenotthatguybruh2026-01-02 14:18
Oh my god , I can’t believe my eyes
KyrrithK2026-01-02 14:18
It's even worse once you realize 90% of the time that face isn't from the video at all, just one of the dozen 'stock reaction faces' that the use for all their videos.
It is what it is though, gotta get it uploaded fast to get more views, and the livestream cover art comes out early so they can make the thumbnail before it even starts. Bran had his vid up within 15 mins of the stream ending.
Karuro2026-01-02 14:22
Good I don't watch them.
Misiakisia2026-01-02 14:22
Wait for release of a new character, when every other title will claim how "BROKEN" and "AMAZING" he/she is xD
NoPalpitation28462026-01-02 14:23
The toxic environment they work in FORCES them to do that
like what else they are gonna do? Flip them borgars?
BrokenNovocaine2026-01-02 14:31
At least I'm not seeing another video from Mtashed saying that he's quitting Genshin every 2 months anymore.
UsernameNotYetTaken22026-01-02 18:43
and every little news "this changes everything"
Heavy_Molasses70482026-01-02 14:37
They all look like they just sat on something they didn't know was there lol.
Extension_Boss4802026-01-02 14:39
That stupid ass fake reaction face is one of the many reasons why I don’t watch content creators.
HuTaosTwinTails2026-01-02 14:40
Just look at their thumbnails and you'll see the exact same face/pose on dozens of videos. Lol
Bierzgal2026-01-02 14:40
Your point being... what exactly? This has been the "YouTube meta" for a while now. Almost everybody does this. Why? Because people click on it. And if YouTube was your job, you would do it to.
And I vibe with 2 out of 3 creators shown above. I can't stand Jon though since he just screams like a maniac every half minute. Maybe not a bad dude but the videos are unwatchable.
Ecstatic-Source60012026-01-02 16:05
cuz he has such target audience. I dont think he likes to react like this but he has to
Ravemst2026-01-02 14:46
God I hate those types of thumbnails. They have the opposite effect on me and I won't click on them. Also they're the most lazy kind of thumbnails.
RegretfulChoice2026-01-02 14:49
I despise reaction videos. They're overreacting to every single thing.
LackingSimplicity2026-01-02 15:00
Literally just generic YT thumbnails...
Ecstatic-Source60012026-01-02 16:07
Youtube has A and B testing system for thumbnails.
Now guess why system chooses this kind more often 😅
parrotandpeacock2026-01-02 15:33
It's always been like that unfortunately
SquishyBruiser2026-01-02 15:39
YouTubers doing the youtuber thumbnail face that has been the popular "algorithm thing" for years at this point (it still works because people keep clicking on videos with exaggerated faces).
I'd rather have that than videos that blatantly lie about stuff to further peddle tribalism and drama.
takenusername50012026-01-02 16:03
>person that did a genshin trailer react video one time now reacts to other franchises as a "genshin player"
those are my favorites
UrGettingcooked09242026-01-02 16:22
Iwintoolose is the goat why watch that shity ass CCs right there
Ikses2026-01-02 17:12
youtube slop
Ayerua2026-01-02 23:03
I actually vibe with Doro and Bran (after he stopped his attempt of becoming a Mujin 2.0).
Jon is not that bad for me but i kinda don't like constant screaming.
There were far worst cc before (Mtashed, Tectone and etc) that thankfully stopped playing.
My most preferred though are Glittr, Murderofbirds and Kettle
Plus Minsleif and Ashikai for the theory vids
