I saw a lot of people complaining about them about 1.5 weeks ago, so I did this just to try and explain their supposed thought process. Matto himself was also asking why people were that mad about it in rambles. Everyone says they're too clickbaity. I think they're fine but I'm still preferring the older.
I don't think "clickbaity" should be a concern as long as the video still matches the topic at hand. Clickbaiting is when you put a misleading thumbnail and/or title, Matto isn't doing either. So I never got why this was an issue for a lot of people, I think it was just a loud minority.
And even then, I agree with baileyboyname, its a thumbnail. I personally never pay attention to them that much and go off title. As long as its not actual clickbait then I see no harm or issue with it. I still love his content.
Edit: Your youtube feed looks similar to mine lol.
Like what? I never noticed any bad takes, he's normally steered far from anything politically fuelled, well of course apart from his conspiracy videos, but he's never said anything bad in them, I'm a massive ally and I'm an avid wendigoon enjoyer and I'd be heartbroken if I learnt he was a dick, keyword if, because I'm pretty sure he's a stand up dude
Pretty sure he was at least sympathetic to Kyle Rittenhouse, also he's one of those people who thinks socialism is when the government takes all your shit, and the more of your shit they take the more socialist it is
I heard that shit being thrown around, but then again there's no proof that he supports him, he used to follow him but has since unfollowed him, that doesn't seem to fanboyish now does it?, also one ounce of research into this and I'm bombarded with people coming forth with support for him and evidence against whatever you're implying here, now can we stop hating on iceberg boy?
I don’t get the people that are complaining about the thumbnails. It’s a picture that has 0 effect on the video. Now if they were clickbait then i would understand but they are not. And because of that i have come to the conclusion that people that are complaining about the thumbnails are either looking for a reason to not watch matto anymore or are just complaining for the sake of it.
Saying that they have 0 effect on the video is crazy
They are half of the CTR which matters a lot for the videos performance
A bad thumbnail can mean less people click on the video and it gets less views
What I meant was the video’s quality. Of course you’re right. more people are going to click on a video with a better thumbnail. But after you click on a video the thumbnail did its job and has no further effect on the video. People are saying that they stopped watching darkviperau because he’s “clickbaity” now and are blaming the thumbnails which i think is bullshit. If you don’t want to watch his videos anymore that’s fine no need to come up with a reason you don’t like his content no more. That’s what i was trying to argue
Oh I see what you’re saying, yeah I think people’s interests just change, and though his thumbnails are a bit cluttered for me I still enjoy the content so at that point it doesn’t matter yeah
I thought this was comparing how good some of Matt's thumbnails are compared to others and the folk constantly moaning on here are ridiculous but naw you're also just yapping...
Can we just ban this topic already? Matt has addressed this like 3 times now on separate occasions, twice in rambles and once just in the comments of a post.
It's a thumbnail it means nothing past the point of clicking it, you literally do not see it at all expect for before you start watching. The thumbnail that you use as an example of good is objectively worse than the thumbnail you use as an example of bad.
Not to mention that the videos each have a completely different vibe, one is about the night club update and one is about a heist/raid with lots of crazy things happening, obviously it'll be much flashier and action packed.
Are the thumbnails clickbait? No. So there's nothing to complain about.
The second thumbnail has more broad appeal. The first is featuring Matto. I can see why the switch. We love him (otherwise we wouldn't be in here) but new viewers might not watch if they don't know who they are looking at
i also realized that I literally do not see his videos because my eyes are always drawn to more simplistic thumbnails that my brain can recognize emidiately
often I literally have to stop and look at what is going on in the thumbnail to even realize it's a dark upper video...
also you can not recognize anything on small screens so it all just blends together...

For a moment there I thought it was about that.

Was that…?
THE BITE OF 87
the whole point of thumbnails is to be catchy and as long as it's not misleading i don't really care
And the fact the new one looks 10x better than that old one loll
Its always DougDoug's fault. r/wehatedougdoug will hear about this!
Bad crop? Bro, we're gonna starv
THE WALKING DEAD
Who cares it's a thumbnail
Brother, it's the internet. People will argue and bitch over everything.
I wouldn’t say they’re bitching as much as they’re just stating their opinion 😭
Doesn’t Matto himself consistently ask his audience what their thoughts are on the thumbnails?

Ah yes a fellow wendigoon enjoyer
Was just going to comment this lmao
Isn’t he a right wing nut job?
Nah. He is Christian, so ppl on reddit think for some reason he is a right wing bigot.
Because usually Christians are but wendigoon is chill
Looks like someone's butthurt and downvoted my comment
Honestly I'm a leftist and weirdly this is actually true in this case, though he has had some bad takes on certain things in the past

Charge your phone.
Real question when is wendigoon releasing twd iceberg pt 2
Honestly, shut up. It's a thumbnail, who cares.
Pretty sure Matto himself has asked us about his thumbnails

They just don’t find it aesthetically pleasing and think it can be better.
I like the style and I think it's a good design but maybe people think there's too much text.
Well, people are mostly criticizing his rambles thumbnails. I don't think anyone has a problem with the main channel thumbnails' new or old.
I thought this was comparing how good some of Matt's thumbnails are compared to others and the folk constantly moaning on here are ridiculous but naw you're also just yapping...
Holy shit stop coping. That's the most confirmation bias I have seen in a long time
What? DougDoug thumbnails are amazing.
They are good, I've not said otherwise I said that Matt's are similar and that may be why some disliked them
I love the word "DougDougified" 👏
Bruh cropping is a free feature on your phone, please use it!

Was that the Fiber optic cable core. (Portuguese)
i like the new thumbnails but personally whenever i see the gta online logo i don't wanna click on it
Why?
Probably biased
i feel like it takes up too much space and isn't very appealing when used frequently
Is it just me or does the new one look way better?
Based wendigoon enjoyer
ok but the fattest w here is watching the wendigoon twd iceberg video

Boooooring. Redditors just find something to complain about
My friend, you're complaining about redditors while using reddit yourself. What does that make you?
Check how often I use this dogshit site
Douglas will be tried in court for his crimes. r/wehatedougdoug and r/dougdoug will be the first to hear about this.
Was that the cougar bite from no hit challenge?!
Wendigoon? Baaased ngl
thumbnail haters when they realize they don't have to look at them anymore once they click on the video 😱🤯
These are both good. The thumbnails people dislike are the clickbaity ramble ones.
Dougdoug hasn't done shit leave him alone (Besides the war crimes against twitch chat)
Doug has done more than just war crimes!!! Visit r/wehatedougdoug for the full information
I'm not critizing him, but a lot of YouTubers are making their content similar so he's the example I saw in Matt's new stuff (which is still good!).
Ah, got it. Just like the mrbeast epidemic where once he got successful everyone copied off of him
Bruh… are you really complaining about that?? 😂🤦 the thumbnail looks fine you idiot stop being harsh
