  The thumbnail is satire, the video is from the person who originally exposed the honey scam.

      They teach literal children to not judge a book by it’s cover, but I guess you must’ve been out sick that day in kindergarden…

        Nah. I just don’t give a fuck and have better things to do with my time. I would rather read a book anyway.

  Right? It tickles something in the back of my brain that just makes me angry. I don’t want to reward that.

    I mean it has Mr. Beast’s AI-generated face with that disturbing grimace he always has and those creepy fake veneers.

      I was thinking exactly that. Like is that really his face or is this GenAI? It has to be GenAI right?

        Either that or just terrible Photoshop. Seems to be what everyone is doing these days is just cartoonish Photoshop with bright colors for some reason.

      That’s Mr Beast? I’ve never watched anything of his, so I don’t know what he actually looks like. If this is one of his standard video thumbnails I now understand why people hate them/him so much!

        It resembles him, that is more or less what he looks like, but it feels incorrect to say an AI generated image is an image of him. Before AI, all his thumbnails included him making stupid faces like this (because it was very effective). Now he, and everyone else, just uses AI images resembling him making stupid faces (because it is unfortunately still somehow effective)

        The social media algorithms have turned most people’s brain attention pathways into mush. Sometimes people get a shovel and a mop and start trying to dig their way through properly, but a lot of times they don’t get very far before it starts seeming impossible to make useful progress. It’s usually easier to just swim in the slop.

        I mean yes and no. It looks like a AI-generated image of Mr.Beast. Which is what he uses in all his thumbnails because he shills his AI image generation site.

  I don’t watch any videos with these stupid faces and I hate when someone I follow suddenly starts doing it. ಠ_ಠ
