Nvidia has an interesting reputation on Linux, for the most part pretty negative but that might start becoming a little bit better and the work of Ben Skeggs...

    Unfortunately it has been proven that putting a stupid human face into the thumbnail makes your audience much bigger. It would be nice if YouTube had a “show stupid face” option.

      The reverse exists, there is the DeArrow extension which removes thumbnails like this and replaces it with a crowdsourced frame of the video.

        I like that this exists but I don’t want to use it because i want to know the content creatos to avoid, thumbnails are part of the game, but putting your face on them feels like a cheap trick ( since it’s unecessary ), effective… yes… but cheap…

      Weird, a grimace in the thumbnail usually drives me away, because it implies overstipulated trivia for teens to me.
