I don’t get why YouTubers have to put spoilers in their thumbnails, it spoiled the last boss of a game for me one time and really pissed me off. I did learn my lesson to stay off YouTube when a new game comes out but still think people don’t need to include spoilers for games in their thumbnails, if I’ve started looking up videos for a game YouTube will start recommending me videos of that game and many of the videos have titles that are spoilers.

Yup doing that now until Tears of the Kingdom comes out. I don’t even want to watch the official trailers.

Reminded me of the Mafia 3 trailer, it shows you working with a dude for ages then him pulling a gun on you or something and I just said to my friend "oh, so he betrays you does he?" and neither of us could figure out why they put it in the trailer.

Ya I stayed off everything until I finished god of war ragnarok to avoid spoilers, but I was recently playing through the dead space games and I was watching some tip videos for dead space 3 so videos with spoilers came up in my recommended. Kinda annoying but what can ya do.

Clickbait.

Keep telling Youtube to not recommend clickbaity youtubers and you will eventually stop getting that channel.

Because people like OP click on the video. They engage with the video by commenting. It feeds the cycle.
