I’m not judging the book by it’s cover, I’m judging the author for choosing it 😂 Same with videos, the faces people use to lure people in, clickbate texts 🤦🏼♀️

翻訳して見てますが、なかなか面白い見解ですね。
「人の目を引くためには〝大げさなサムネイル〟の方が良い」とは思いますが、個人的には「彼のように〝真実のサムネイル〟の方が好ましい」と思います。
やっぱりウソは良くないですよ。

I’m really glad he doesn’t do the cartoonishly shocked face while pointing at an empty patch of sky that’s circled in red with a big red arrow also pointing at the obviously empty bit. Thank you Tom. And Wired for that matter. Y’all aren’t offenders either. 💖

nothing annoys me quite like sensationalised thumbnails that either aren’t featured in the video, or are patently false
and of course, when you first said “thumb nail” my thought was “what about the nail on my thumb?” -_-
@suspencer31
June 11, 2026 at 10:45 am
I’m not seeing anyone else comment that they assumed he meant the nails on our thumbs at first so yeah me neither I also didn’t think that

“i make factual content so i want it to be real” implies “fake thumbnail means fake content” which is usually true

Just looking at the thumbnail of this video I can confidently say that what he said went over @Wired ‘s heads. Why do you put a guys mouth as a thumbnail like seriously 😅
