    That’s shit, you’re going to lose out on content you enjoy because the creators are trying to maximise their reach. If the content changed it’d be fair but just the marketing is no reason to do that.

      Corollary: when content creators start trying to maximize reach instead of relevance or quality, it’s time to stop watching them.

          I mean, the cover of a book is very important as a first impression, sure…

          But if I like a book series, I don’t care what the cover is like… so, your point technically stands…

          The thumbnail is not the content.

          Not the whole content, but significant enough that it can be used as a sample signal about the editorial principles from the author.

          And yes, the same applies to book covers.

              Not the case here because mkbhd is author, editor and producer of the content.
