That's shit, you're going to lose out on content you enjoy because the creators are trying to maximise their reach. If the content changed it'd be fair but just the marketing is no reason to do that.
Corollary: when content creators start trying to maximize reach instead of relevance or quality, it's time to stop watching them.
The thumbnail is not the content.
Do you also judge books by their covers?
I mean, the cover of a book is very important as a first impression, sure...
But if I like a book series, I don't care what the cover is like... so, your point technically stands...
Not the whole content, but significant enough that it can be used as a sample signal about the editorial principles from the author.
And yes, the same applies to book covers.
Except the author generally does not design the book cover, and often does not design the thumbnail.
Not the case here because mkbhd is author, editor and producer of the content.
Honestly who gives a shit
At least two people just from this thread alone...
If the quality goes to shit, what's the point on watching it then?
Thumbnails and titles are not high on my list of criteria for quality content. Clickbaity or vague is annoying but what about the next 10 to 20 minutes?
