Having a face in the thumbnail isn’t the problem though. Having a useless arrow pointing to the thing that the video is obviously about coupled with the guy holding his head in his hands like he just caught his favorite phone in bed with another YouTuber is the problem.

He is. He’s one of the most successful phone tech YouTubers. They do this because it’s what gets clicks. Doesn’t matter if you like it or hate it.
