Misleading YouTube Thumbnails 2012-02-14 12:32:58 Reply

Does anyone get kinda pissed off if you think the thumbnail is something you want to watch, it turns out it is just either a boring or fat person talking about his stuff that is nothing related to the thumbnail, it ticks me off when people overuse the power on their YouTube Partnership to gain money, its just like a trap! (Its a Trap!)

What do you think?

(Oh and im new in the community, Hello! :3)

its a trap refers to that of a transvestite or a male looking like a female but has a extra surface area underneath his mini shirt

People only have misleading sex thumbnails.

So the fact that you are complaining about looking for porn on Youtube is hilarious.


That was a great post. Right Zach?

Considering all those YouTube whores, this is nothing new to me and they will sadly continue to abuse their partnership with misleading titles/thumbnails. At least with this site we have mods who will stamp down on misleading tags and thumbnails.

It's a tactic to gain more views yes, but YouTube has made some changes to its Partnership program lately. One being that the video title needs to actually be related to the video as Philip DeFranco explained a couple of weeks ago.


Need to make an updated sig.

You can report videos for doing shit like that, though I doubt Youtube ever does do anything about it.

Not necessarily irrelevant to the topic of misleading YouTube thumbnails.

I fucking hate the internet sometimes.

Maybe if you're a small name. For the most popular guys, nope. Even if YouTube keep talking about enforcing the policies on the partners, they still won't do anything.

Every video that leads to some sort of spam or "rick roll" should be deleted. They're a waste of Internet.


This is my signature. It is a nice signature.

Misleading thumbnails pays. Unmisleading thumbnails don't
