Theo video detected = opinion rejected

Also I generally dislike thinking models for coding and prefer faster models, so if you have something easy gemini 2.0 is good

Absolute golden age YouTube brain rot. I had to disable the youtube sidebar with a custom style because just seeing these thumbnails and knowing some stupid schmuck is clicking on them like an ape when they do touchscreen experiments really lowers my mood.

If you find youtubers talking about it, they all fully agree that making these thumbnails is soul draining and they are totally aware how stupid they are. But they are also aware that click-through rates fall off a cliff when you don't use them. Humans are mostly dumb, it's up to you if you want to use it to your advantage or to your detriment.

Is that true? I like to think it’s mostly kids. Honestly the world is a dark place if it’s adults doing the clicking.

You definitely underestimate kids and overestimate adults.
