    Yeah I was about to say: “This is an MKBHD video. Don’t click it.”

    And yeah his thumbnails were always terrible. But to be fair, most were from a content perspective, too. Except the very very early ones. It’s a business, I get it. But it’s so weird how you can watch a 1 hour video and know nothing more than what you knew before. And that’s normal. You’ve been shown a lot of really pretty shots of a phone that make it look very beautiful, so clearly he or someone from his team is a great photographer. But there’s little else in the videos.

      That’s been a youtube trend for a while now. Most 10-20 minute videos should not have been longer than 2-5 minutes. It caused me to massively reduce the time I spend on youtube - and for me to watch a video longer than 5 minutes from somebody I don’t know it needs to be about a very interesting topic and a description hinting at it not being just filler yet again.
