The same youtube thumbnails I've noticed

December 1, 2024

One thing I have noticed on my youtube homepage is the style of thumbnails that certain groups of people use. Like you can tell what the person believes in based on the thumbnail they use. This usually only applies to commentary channels but it can apply to other genres as well. Below I will include examples of people ranging politically (i believe anyways) left and right.

THE LEFT

The first example I want to give is people with left leaning views, not saying they are necessarily left but based on titles I've sniffed them out to be.

As you can see by these examples from 3 different channels they all follow a specific formula:Text in front of a persons face (usually yellow text) with some quippy one liner.

I did click on one video and they also use the same text inside the video as well

THE RIGHT

The same thing al;so applies to right leaning youtubers

Initially i thought it was only the right leaning people that did this but apparently it applies to both sides of the coin. What i do like about these in particular is when they have "GAY" in all caps on the thumbnail or give the subjects on the image speech bubbles. I've also noticed ai slop is used slot on right leaning people.

Just something i wanted to post here since i thought it was interesting
