josilverdragonI'm going to make a new series. A list of the things that annoy me (in general), numbered but not in ranking order. Just in order of when I think of them from today onwards. We'll see how it goes.
So, Number 1 of the things that annoy me, is the freaking faces people use for their thumbnails on YouTube. Like, I'm sure you're that surprised in reality.
Like, I know you want clicks, because that is your paycheck, but seriously? It's so weird to me that this is what people use and it's apparently effective?! Since EVERYONE does it? Or near everyone.
Like just give me normal face. Or better yet, a picture of something else. But noooooo, we get the hugely overdone face of shock, in various levels of horror. Or the happy surprise face. Or the overdone thinking face, hand to chin and everything.
Doesn't mean I won't watch, but I've always found those overtly reactionary faces to be off putting and they feel disingenuous. That could just be me though lol
