I see clickbait thumbnail, I press do not recommend channel. It is the only way.



If you are watching from the browser I can recommend Clickbait Remover for Youtube. It replaces the title image with a frame from the video itself. It also changes the case of titles for them not to scream at you.

Nah, you put that as thumbnail, you deserve your channel banned.


Unfortunately, people like you and me are the minority.


it is not about explicitly voting down a Youtube channel to punish the creator for making exaggerated claims,

that type of action does not scale

what will happen instead is that people will develop an immunity to these types of thumbnails and you will visit less - behaviors are the main driving mechanisms

it will be boring like exaggerated burlesque facial expressions in the early movies
