Because the thumbnail face

That thumbnail formatting style is disgusting but they keep doing because I guess it works.

Yup, and I try to avoid channels that do it. That, and the clickbait titles. I'm not subbed to LTT for largely this reason, and I avoid many larger channels as well.

I guess it's my petty little boycott.

Look up the DeArrow extension. It'll purge all the shitty thumbnails and clickbait titles.

I really hope it gets integrated in ReVanced or NewPipe.

Nice! I'll try that out!

He's pointing and using a red arrow.
