Some youtubers have done analysis on this. Unfortunately it has a huge impact on views. Arrows, circles, distorted faces, etc. All the clickbaity tropes, they don’t just work, they work disproportionately well, and they work on you even if you hate them and are aware of them. It can sometimes be up to double the viewership and thus revenue of a video during the first 72 hours. The impact is so hard that it has grown into a special skill on its own do craft these shitty promotional material.
Many channels use the clickbait titles and thumbnails during the first 48 hours, then switch to a more sane and on-brand title and thumb. Because if they did away with the clickbait altogether, they would lose all revenue soon after.
If they didn’t work, you wouldn’t need dearrow. You would just ignrore them spontaneously and channels who didn’t do it would thrive with your viewership. But if dearrow didn’t exist, you would hate them but you would still watch them far more than videos without.
Can’t stand these trashy YT videos that use stupid distorted facial expressions on the thumbnail to get attention.

They don’t work on me cause I use de-arrow. Fuck all that noise

Unfortunately the online populace craves and engages with brainrot. We are the minority
The title really sells it as “video you should not watch under any circumstances”
Why do you hate them? It lets us know which videos not to click on, or even block. I see this as an absolute win.
Use DeArrow ;D
