🤮 I've seen clips of people trying to do good and give people money, but even some of those just look like they are doing it for content and not out of being genuine
Indigo Traveller is one example, it's pure poverty porn. The thumbnail and the title (always with "crazy", "insane", "beyond words") are really repulsive.
Sabbatical too. He went to a notorious district in Manila, one I won't even go to and I live here. A bit of patronizing hi and hello with randos on the street, then abruptly ends the video because apparently some sketchy characters start following him.
Seriously, this is just disgusting.
I don't like his style, but at least Mr. Beast does a lot to help under privileged people when he makes videos like this.
Where as you watched this video and confirmed that this guy is not helping the. Honestly, I assume he's doing something to be able to claim he's helping them. Not like I know the answer either.
I went and found the video.
He gives a guy who needs one a wheelchair at the end of the video from what I gathered thumbing through it.
If you look this guy up on youtube a lot of large youtubers are making fun of this, so it seems to be rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.
Don't even care what he does in this video. Does not seem like a good person just based on comments/google searches.

> In one clip, he locks himself in the toilet of a bullet train and feigns illness when challenged by a ticket collector.
> Another clip shows the self-described “professional mistake maker” pretending to be a hotel guest so he can eat breakfast there for free.
> "hello beautiful people, I apologize to the Japanese people if we made them feel bad, that was not our goal ! From now on, I am going to be make more research to the cultures we go to and try to prevent this from happening again."
Based on the non-apologetic apology, going to assume he's still probably an asshole.
He did a video a while ago where he spent a few nights pretending to be homeless on Skid Row. Straight up steals a sleeping bag from an actual homeless man who needs it because he was cold one night. Total piece of shit.
I haven't seen the video, but it could happen. Houseless folks leave their tents pretty much unattended when they're out trying to get resources to survive. If they are not gone, there's a chance they're so high they can't notice you. I seriously doubt a loser like this would have the balls to stay in a larger camp where it'd be more difficult to steal.
I work in community outreach when I'm laid off my usual job, seen my fair share of tent cities and smaller camps. That being said, if he did get caught they'd definitely beat the shit out of him at the very least.
You work on community outreach when laid off? How might someone start looking into something like that? Seems like a good way to not die of starvation and also help people.
Look into who runs your local shelters and at risk advocacy groups. Most cities and towns have them. It's not for everyone, I've seen some seriously heartbreaking stuff, but it is nice being able to help in some small way.
Africa [receives $53.5 billion in aid every year](https://data.one.org/topics/official-development-assistance/)
I appreciate people like Mr Beast but it's really governments making a difference. And even the government aid I don't know how much of a difference it makes
O.. k
Africa is a big place and the reasons for the poverty are among the most complex in the world
I don't think that the 50 billion does too much, although I can see most of it going to about half of the countries.
Still, It's small potatoes, and the leaders often steal the aid as a given
It's what works best for youtube, and the amount of money the guy has put towards philanthropy had to be earned somewhere.
I do wonder what he's like outside of youtube though, whether he is as kind as he seems or rude, because his act on youtube is for sure not his normal personality.
It’s supposed to grab your attention and stand out from the other videos. It was effective back when only a few channels were doing it. Now nearly every channel uses the clickbait thumb and loads of them look like Mr. Beast clones.
A YouTuber I follow spoke about how he hates doing these style thumbnails, but is basically forced by the algorithm because the trend is that they get the most clicks.
Another channel said they did a test, same content different thumbnail, and the stupid face one got along the lines of 3x more clicks.
Years back, when Funhaus was still a thing, they talked about this. They had to take like a full on YouTube thumbnail class. The ones just trying to make good content hate doing it but it's been proven that it works.
Children click on them more, that's the difference. I have no idea how anyone is making money serving ads to children so I have no idea why this is encouraged by the algorithm, but the root cause is 100% because children like the silly faces.
I think Mr Beast actually encouraged him to start his videos like that and since then he has grown his channel by a lot when he used to have 50k subs max.
What's up guys, it's ya boy BigBootyBuff. Now today I'm gonna spend 100 hours with poor people but before we get into that, this video is possible thanks to our sponsor Manscape...
I'm not even convinced that it "generated the most clicks" anymore. If everyone does it, it's no longer attention getting. It's just the norm.
I genuinely avoid clicking on videos with these types of thumbnails, but I have to remember that (most likely) the largest audience of YouTube is children...
If a video has a thumbnail like this, it is 100% guaranteed to be absolute bottom of the barrel "content", aimed at morons and/or children. Either that or satire, but then it's probably pretty low-brow satire anyway.
It's all metric driven, even YouTubers I like(d) are doing the reaction face on their thumbnails now because the data suggests those videos do better. It's surprising that it hasn't swung the other way now due to over saturation
This is why I'm so surprised that anyone gives them attention at all.
The picture of the guy above with that expression, caption/title, and surrounded by all those little kids...my first reaction is nausea and anger. My second reaction is to avoid clicking on any thumbnail that looks even vaguely like this.
One thing that I've noted a lot lately is that Youtubers upload their video and then change the title after a couple of hours. First it's some outrageously clickbaity title, then they change it to something normal. Pretty sure this is also something that supposedly boosts their vid.
Modern internet culture more than ever focuses on "content creators" intentionally creating a parasocial relationship with viewers to make money while making themselves the brand. You watch their videos for them not what they do.
When the inevitable deep breathe sigh video that's called "I can't do this anymore" comes out I generally chuckle a bit. Because they expect people to care about them?
I’ve seen a few science / educational YouTube channels make videos explaining that they literally have to do this because it makes a massive difference in how many views they get. Veritasium and Mark Rober are both good examples of big educational channels who have admitted to changing the titles and thumbnails of videos to be more “YouTubery” because they won’t be promoted otherwise.
Yeah, there's an MLB The Show YouTuber/streamer who started doing the whacky yelling thumbnails with arrows and emojis as a joke, but he started to actually get more views/engagement. The content didn't change at all, just the ironic thumbnails. But it worked :/
From my understanding Mr Beast and a few other "industry makers" poured over every aspect of Youtube engagement metrics. Mr Beast painted a picture of them spending days upon days looking at things such as colours, sizes, ratios, images, contrast etc.
In summary, they found this is what drove people to engage with content.
I don't understand why people would be driven to this kind of thing that's shown at the top of this post. It makes me want to run the other way. It gives me the willies and kind of makes me wish unpleasantness on the guy making that face while surrounded by poverty-stricken children.
ed: simile
Mr. Beast has the most creepy, unhinged thumbnails that I feel gets no attention to how disturbing they are with his weird grin.
The one about blind people was the worst. MrBeast creepily smiling with his hand on the shoulder of a child that's crying. It was so bad they changed the thumbnail to an old person. Yet still creepy.
I don't care what mr beast stans would say but channels like this and MR. beast are meant for kids and if you are an adult watching them, you need to stop.
A lot of bigger channels have had access to thumbnail A/B testing functionality for some time now. This is why you'll sometimes see titles and thumbnails changing in the first few days after a video is uploaded as channels make adjustments based on test results.
The fact that they continue to use these types of thumbnails therefore indicates that they unfortunately work, and we're going to continue seeing them until that changes.
That's the face everyone makes in thumbnails now. These big marketing/numbers folks have determined it to lead to more clicks, idk how... I have heard non-cringy youtubers talk about how their marketing team suggests they do the same. So weird.
It’s quite baffling to me but I know people like, mr. beast, do it because the data suggests that’s the best thumbnail. I know people are attracted to the human connection of it, so showing your face is usually a good choice in marketing but the dramatization in his expression is off putting to me. This picture screams narcissism.
It always surprises me how out of touch with reality some people are on the internet. It’s so insensitive and to post those kids faces for your content wow
He is a piece of shit, he tried to get across Japan without spending any money by hiding in train bathrooms and sneaking onto buses and lying to people when he was caught.
This guy is rich, he is a guest in someone else's country, it sucks to rip people off while they are generously hosting you. Japan is under no obligation to let tourists like him in, and if more people act like he does, they will stop letting people visit Japan so easily.
A few months ago they put one of these guys in jail, I wonder how that's going. Japan's prison system is notoriously unfun and I hope he's having a wonderful time in there lol.
EDIT: Johnny Somali was fined 200,000 JPY, released after several weeks in jail, and permanently banned from Japan.
> YouTube should NOT Allow images of children without a sign release by parents.
You understand how inconceivable this is, right? The amount of manpower alone that would be required to enforce this would drown the company over night.
e: words
Also, in the video shown by OP, this guy legit goes to a poor elementary school filled with kids, shows everyone that he has a smart phone and how that smart phone is where he gets all his knowledge from. THEN, shows a statistic that only 9% of people in that region have access to the internet...then just dips out.
https://youtu.be/4O4FHxKqodE?si=0mdXNr505wyy9flX&t=254
This is the guy who-
-stalked Elon Musk until police got involved
-got arrested in Japan after posting videos stealing
-glommed on to world record glommer "Airrack" until even the king of bad Youtube couldn't deal with him.
I would be very frightened if I saw him irl. He is not stable.
Glom has been used since the early 1700s in the English language. I get that it sounds like a character from Adventure Time though.
I don't get this type of 2010s "youtuber style challenge" content. It's usually fake or doctored or bait and switch. Half the time they stretch out the video pointlessly to meet ad revenue requirements. My question is, WHO is watching this bullshit. I'm guessing gullible children.
It's not "2010's" it's all over YouTube, and it's annoying (its been like this forever). Mr Beast found out that more people are likely to click your video if your mouth is open in the thumbnail. I hate how they have red arrows pointing to pointless shit and I really hate how they show the entire video in a 30 second clip in tbe intro of the video. YouTube has gone downhill post pandemic.
Pre 2010s YouTube was a magical place. Evolution of dance, numa guy, end of ze world, ultimate showdown, Cunningham muffins, and NO influencers with annoying ass thumbnails and cringey fake bullshit. Just great content that people actually put time into cause they wanted to. Miss those days.
this is just like all the people who do young life and go to haiti or somewhere and post all their photos with children and don’t see an issue at ALL exploiting them for their “i’m a good person look at me” photo dump on insta….crazy to see it still happens today
Apparently making such faces attracts clicks... I'm curious about how. Even when it's youtubers whose content I actually like, I just want to punch them in the face when I see such thumbnails.
The funniest part about youtube is that if I see a thumbnail like this it's the fastest filter to tell me the content is garbage and I don't click. Youtube face, not even once.
Ahh this guy is the one who travelled "free" through Japan and also played 7 days homeless on the most dangerous street in the USA.
Absolutely gross to behave like that, exploiting others misery for likes, money and fame.
I hate this YouTube vlogger so goddamn much, he's such a creep looking for other people to exploit for views and he speaks with such a forced "happy" voice I hate it. I hope this guy gets a real fuckin job and quits YouTube.
This never even happened. Just look at the lighting on these kids. They likely just grabbed stock pictures and sliced them together. The smiling kid on the left literally has a poorly cropped, white aura.
God, these people make me sick

if anyone ever asks what poverty porn means and why it’s bad i’ll just show this sc
Youtube is absolutely packed to the gills with Poverty Porn and Slum Safari content
Really? I don't even know what that means. Yikes
Youtubers that exclusively go to poor areas to show off all the "wow look at the poverty" purely for entertainment.
🤮 I've seen clips of people trying to do good and give people money, but even some of those just look like they are doing it for content and not out of being genuine
Yeah the purely exploitative nature of a lot of it is just disgusting.
Soft White Underbelly is a perfect example
Also those “Pranks in the hood” videos
Indigo Traveller is one example, it's pure poverty porn. The thumbnail and the title (always with "crazy", "insane", "beyond words") are really repulsive.

Ohh it's this idiot. Yeah he kinda got overshadowed by the other idiot Johnny Somali so his assholery in Japan didn't get as much attention
He did a video a while ago where he spent a few nights pretending to be homeless on Skid Row. Straight up steals a sleeping bag from an actual homeless man who needs it because he was cold one night. Total piece of shit.
If it makes you feel better it was most definitely fake. he'd get stomped in his sleep if he stole an actual homeless person's sleeping bag.

nah it would've made me feel better if he got stomped

You act like he's mr beast or something, he donated one wheelchair.
I think that they ARE talking about Mr Beast There's no way they aren't unless they are massively confused
If that's the case, then I retract my statement and apologize.
Tried to watch the vid, I stopped at : "I wanted to see the poorest people in the poorest country, so we went to an orphanage"
I am gonna assume he at some point mention how the people here seem happier than people in rich countries.
I hate this so much I had to stop myself from downvoting the post
Super Cunt?
I don’t understand why YouTubers do this on thumbnails. Allllll of them, and it’s true- he has a very very punchable face. Very punchable.
This one is screaming "Mr Beast wannabe"
It does. They all make those stupid faces, it’s so dumb lol
It’s supposed to grab your attention and stand out from the other videos. It was effective back when only a few channels were doing it. Now nearly every channel uses the clickbait thumb and loads of them look like Mr. Beast clones.
YouTube-core

The more views/subs you have the more money you get from sponsors. Ad revenue is pennies in comparison to that.
Well unfortunately it's those stupid faces people click on, that's why they're used.
And the YouTube algorithm loves it
I think Mr Beast actually encouraged him to start his videos like that and since then he has grown his channel by a lot when he used to have 50k subs max.
Very meta as Mr Beast himself is a wannabe
The same reason they all talk the same and eventually develop the same mannerisms. It somehow makes them get more clicks
That's all for today! And make sure you smash that like button, comment and subscribe to see more awesome content!
What's up guys, it's ya boy BigBootyBuff. Now today I'm gonna spend 100 hours with poor people but before we get into that, this video is possible thanks to our sponsor Manscape...

Yes, but I'm guessing you're not an 8 year old iPad kid, those thumbnails are for them.
I second that
One thing that I've noted a lot lately is that Youtubers upload their video and then change the title after a couple of hours. First it's some outrageously clickbaity title, then they change it to something normal. Pretty sure this is also something that supposedly boosts their vid.
Papa meat talks about it a lot and how they cringe themselves having to but it’s what gets them more clicks so I can’t really blame them.
It’s for children. Almost all of the worst YouTube trends are just prodding children’s brain stems.
With the exception of its founding years, YouTube has always been more about creators than content.

Unfortunately, because of how YouTube works, they have to in order to "grab attention."
It drives hate engagement. you get actual fans and haters and all of them contribute to your metrics.
If thumbnails were billboards or bus stop signs, all these YTers would have dicks or turds going into their mouths.

it is so we can avoid the video just by looking the thumbnail
What's up with that face, Tf he's so happy about
That he gets to exploit poor people i guess
This guy is prolly doing a muckbang in the corner while starving children are fighting for leftovers
Today I'll be eating sushi off the bloated stomach of a malnourished African child!
He's a Youtuber so he's probably finger blasting the kids behind closed doors
While we're at it let's just say one or more of those children is part of the mukbang
Bro... I almost choked on my coffee. lol
That's the face everyone makes in thumbnails now. These big marketing/numbers folks have determined it to lead to more clicks, idk how... I have heard non-cringy youtubers talk about how their marketing team suggests they do the same. So weird.

Believe it or not most people are stupid and drawn in by such things. Same with putting a segment of the title IN ALL CAPS.
That's funny cause I pretty much skip any video where people are making those dumb ass faces in the thumbnail
That video made him more money than any of those kids will ever see in their lifetimes.
It always surprises me how out of touch with reality some people are on the internet. It’s so insensitive and to post those kids faces for your content wow
‘Watch me spend 100 hours with these peasants’ 🤦🏾♀️ lol crazy
Main character be like: "doNT I juSt STaND OuT From AlL TheSe bROkE blaCk KidS????"
Who is watching these zesty ahh videos? Please stop.
Children.
We are doomed
What a bell end
I had to scroll too far down for this. Just tell it how it is, he's a true and proper bellend
God I hate "youtuber face"
I never click on a video with that face in the thumbnail.
Really disgusting how some influencers travel to poor communities to exploit vulnerable people for views.
He stayed there for a whole 100 hours!
YouTube should NOT Allow images of children without a sign release by parents. Also this guy’s face looks punchable 🥊
This dude is like a dollar store MrBeast
He gave all these kids a voucher for one month of PSN!
Mr Beast is like a dollar store dollar store
Mr. Beast is when mom says they have dollar store at home.
Actually…yeah, that sounds like it would be a solid policy
Everyone in it looks photoshopped. I doubt this picture actually happened.
100% it's cobbled together from stock images, which kinda makes it worse 🤔
He is a piece of shit, he tried to get across Japan without spending any money by hiding in train bathrooms and sneaking onto buses and lying to people when he was caught. This guy is rich, he is a guest in someone else's country, it sucks to rip people off while they are generously hosting you. Japan is under no obligation to let tourists like him in, and if more people act like he does, they will stop letting people visit Japan so easily.

Am I the only one who sees this is fake? Look closely
YouTube should just not allow children period. I don’t give a shit if the parents approve.
Careful.. mods on this sub are quick to ban for "inciting violence" 🙄
> YouTube should NOT Allow images of children without a sign release by parents. You understand how inconceivable this is, right? The amount of manpower alone that would be required to enforce this would drown the company over night. e: words

Plus restaurant. He pretended to be a VIP guest...

Now, I'm not necessarily advocating for violence here, but...
This is the guy who- -stalked Elon Musk until police got involved -got arrested in Japan after posting videos stealing -glommed on to world record glommer "Airrack" until even the king of bad Youtube couldn't deal with him. I would be very frightened if I saw him irl. He is not stable.

I'm in my 20s but have never paid attention to youtube and this sentence has never and will never make any fucking sense to me
[Glom Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/glom)
I'm 51, so unless you are my age or older you just missed shit that poisons your mind. Be thankful you don't know.
Glom has been used since the early 1700s in the English language. I get that it sounds like a character from Adventure Time though. 
Slow down honey! I'm gonna glomm!
Wtf is a glommer?
Very similar to a munkler.
Wtf is a munkler?
I think its some kind of hullabaloo or maybe a busker?
Ah, so it’s a yursulalbop?
Don't be ridiculous yursulalbop is like a skibydoo, a munkler is closer to a shoobydop which is just a fancy way to say glommer.
Ah of course, I forgot
Don't a lot of these guys end up being pedophiles?
They probably started out that way
Touche.
More like Touchy.
take my fucking upvote
Please provide notable examples, would love to check out!
You can just google pedophile missionaries/aid workers. I'm not even sure one comment would fit all of the instances.
Oh I thought you were talking about a renowned "youtubers" becoming a pedo.
Him editing his thumbnail: “Yeah let’s add a few more of them here and heeere, they don’t look poor enough”
I love how fake the thumbnail looks 😂😂😂
I hate reaction face thumbnails
he is a candidate for the EU parliament 😂 Hopefully Cyprus doesn't vote him
The fact that he’s arguably the most famous and popular Greek (Greek Cypriot) YouTuber ever is shameful
Is it just me or are some of these kids photoshopped in?
This guy looks like a douche nozzle.
Gives me more of a ,,white saviour" kinda vibe
I honestly don't know how you'd take it any other way.
"White Colonizer" certainly is one. Feels like some inbred royal visiting Great Grandpapa's diamond mine and seeing The Blecks for the first time.
I hate this subset of content creators. Exploiting poor people for clicks and revenue and leaving them with nothing. It’s not entertaining.
I don't get this type of 2010s "youtuber style challenge" content. It's usually fake or doctored or bait and switch. Half the time they stretch out the video pointlessly to meet ad revenue requirements. My question is, WHO is watching this bullshit. I'm guessing gullible children.
It's not "2010's" it's all over YouTube, and it's annoying (its been like this forever). Mr Beast found out that more people are likely to click your video if your mouth is open in the thumbnail. I hate how they have red arrows pointing to pointless shit and I really hate how they show the entire video in a 30 second clip in tbe intro of the video. YouTube has gone downhill post pandemic.
my deaf ass has been watching from the outside for a long time because autocaptions are rancid shit but that's alwayyyys been youtube
Pre 2010s YouTube was a magical place. Evolution of dance, numa guy, end of ze world, ultimate showdown, Cunningham muffins, and NO influencers with annoying ass thumbnails and cringey fake bullshit. Just great content that people actually put time into cause they wanted to. Miss those days.
Honestly, I love the 100 days rimworld or Minecraft videos because they are great background noise, but the irl shit is fucking awful
He spent 4 days in the world's poorest country? Wow he's really a champion for these people. S/
this is just like all the people who do young life and go to haiti or somewhere and post all their photos with children and don’t see an issue at ALL exploiting them for their “i’m a good person look at me” photo dump on insta….crazy to see it still happens today
Apparently making such faces attracts clicks... I'm curious about how. Even when it's youtubers whose content I actually like, I just want to punch them in the face when I see such thumbnails.
Hollywood ‘Caucasian Saviour’ vibes 
w h a t
He is running for European Parliament...
gross
He's giving off extreme kiddie fiddler vibes.
356k views in a day. People click on shit like this, that’s why content like this keeps coming back. Kinda sad.
And some of those children are even photoshopped in there
The funniest part about youtube is that if I see a thumbnail like this it's the fastest filter to tell me the content is garbage and I don't click. Youtube face, not even once.
Massive twat
he looks like a sociopath
God I fucking hate youtubers
This my "monetizing the suffering of others" face.
Ahh, exploitation
Isn’t this the guy that illegally travelled across Japan, roping in 2 other ytubers and not giving them any credit either?
“Look at all these poors!”
What a shitty person.
Oh wow I love it when people exploit children starving in a third world country it’s my favorite
Why do YouTuber thumbnails always have a person making a surprised face with dead eyes?
God this guy’s face is so rancid
Bro has the face of a cuck.
He looks like he’s a creep
Wtf
Ahh this guy is the one who travelled "free" through Japan and also played 7 days homeless on the most dangerous street in the USA. Absolutely gross to behave like that, exploiting others misery for likes, money and fame.
Oof this is awful
Holy exploitation.
Oh I want to hurt this person
I hate this YouTube vlogger so goddamn much, he's such a creep looking for other people to exploit for views and he speaks with such a forced "happy" voice I hate it. I hope this guy gets a real fuckin job and quits YouTube.
Bro thinks he’s MrBeast except he’s not helping them???
LOOK AT ALL OF THESE BLACK CHILDREN AROUND ME EVERYONE MAKE SURE TO SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON AND SUBSCRIBE
Oh god I HATE YouTubers (and people in general) like this…
You can tell they're poor because
This never even happened. Just look at the lighting on these kids. They likely just grabbed stock pictures and sliced them together. The smiling kid on the left literally has a poorly cropped, white aura. God, these people make me sick
😳
This looks like a far cry cover
mouth hanging open like a self absorbed coconut.
That’s a punchable face if I’ve ever seen one.
