Is it just me, or are the red arrows in the thumbnails a thing of the past?
A while ago I clicked "do not recommend channel" on every video in my feed (with a few exceptions where it made sense) that contained arrows, red circles circling nothing in the image, and clickbait things like this. Also did the same with titles like "And then THIS happened", and videos where the title is a question. (Like "Is this the Rolex killer?" and translates into "No, it's not, it's a mediocre watch but I bought it for cheap or some friend gave it to me for a few hours and wanted to make a new video")
I don't know if the algorithm has something to do with it and stopped showing me videos like that, or people just decided that these practices don't work too well on YouTube anymore. Do you still get those?
P.S.: The creators didn't fix the "In this video..." showing snippets of the best part in the first few seconds to hook you. I basically look for that part and skip the whole video to get there and I'm done in like 40 seconds :)
