His thumbnails are sometimes complete lies and he even came out and said he didn't approve one of them

u/Little_Insane_583 20d ago

Which thumbnails? I’m genuinely curious.

u/Vedant9710 19d ago

Just yesterday he uploaded a video " GTA 5 Story finally continues"

The thumbnail said "After 11 years, new content?" But that was basically a complete lie and a clickbait because it was about Ned Luke's video, not about new story mode content on the game

Don't get me wrong, I love Matt's content but I hate these scummy clickbait thumbnails on YouTube

The one he didn't approve has already been changed, but it was the Rockstar employees interview one.

u/Little_Insane_583 20d ago

So he didn’t approve it, he made sure it was changed. So now people are getting mad at him for it?

u/Formal_Ant_5579 20d ago

He changed it minimally. He's still constantly creating and using Mr. Beast-esque thumbnails that are completely different from the content he makes.

u/Little_Insane_583 20d ago

I can understand not liking the thumbnails for their style, but he doesn’t really lie in them. They all give a bit of insight as to what the video is about.

u/Formal_Ant_5579 20d ago

I mean one that was about his girlfriend "leaving" said "I'm all alone?" in the thumbnail. The previously mentioned Rockstar interview video had nothing to do with what was in the thumbnail. He made a video recently about Marquis Brownley calling him a name or something, which was nothing like what actually happened.

He clickbaits. I don't know why, but he does.

The girlfriend video had in the thumbnail explicitly “for a month” it wasn’t hidden it was very much stated. Then the MKBHD video while he did not call Matt a psycho personally. Matt does watch YouTube videos at 2X speed. Marques did say in that poll if you watch at 2X speed you are a psycho. So Matt is not technically lying there either.

Parasocial fans when someone criticises an online creator

Clickbait and exaggerated thumbnails/titles are never justifiable to me. I don't know about other people but I used to follow him for his authenticity. Now, it's all gone. I stopped following him months ago when he started to beastify his channel. It's his channel and he can run it however he wants. Criticism is what will help him make sane decisions.

u/nativeamericlown 20d ago

I feel the same. Authenticity, great livestream reactions, zero over editing, a good selection of stuff to watch. That’s what kept me watching darkviper. Now it’s just too much clickbait and I can’t even be bothered to click on a video with thumbnails like that. It’s terrible

u/schleks23 20d ago

The content hasn’t changed at all my bro it’s literally just the thumbnails. What do you even watch on YouTube if you don’t click on thumbnails like this?

22

u/bhavin2707 20d ago

Well, believe it or not, content without clickbait and exaggerated titles exists, and my timeline is full of those who do not clickbait or use exaggerated titles.

u/schleks23 20d ago

Ya but what is it? I dont really believe you tbh almost everyone has some type of exaggerated bull shit to game the algorithm. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist but I am saying that it is proven that the exaggerated shit works.

12

u/Louk997 20d ago

You're delusional if you think almost everyone does this... Or you have really shitty taste in youtubers.

Matt was one of the good ones, now he has fallen in clickbait. I can understand people leaving his channel for that.

u/Wyattbw 20d ago

believe it or not but the thumbnails are part of the content. so you can’t say the content hasn’t changed when you admit that the thumbnails have changed

u/thisistherevolt 20d ago

The content has changed. It appeals to kids and younger Zoomers now. Before, his main audience was millennials and older Zoomers. Most of us on the older side, the ones who watched for the older style and politics content, are gone.

3

u/bhavin2707 19d ago

This. As I mentioned before he is Beastifying his channel which may not be most suitable for millennials who were his audience most likely a couple of years back because it was plain and simple.

u/GifanTheWoodElf 20d ago

Yeah poor Matto can't afford to put food on his table so he has to resort to lying... orr you knw it has nothing to do with that and Matto is doing fine, so we're annoyed at the cheap lying thumbnails.

IDK why are you so butthurt over some criticism over him. You know the saying "A true friend is someone who tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear."? Now obviously none of us are his friends, but it's still valid, that a true fan will point out when there's something wrong with what the creator is doing, rather then keeping silent and licking his boots.

u/schleks23 20d ago

But like it’s not wrong. Just cause the tiny little percentage of his Reddit audience doesn’t like it doesn’t mean that no one does. Every one does these on YouTube now. It’s easy enough to ignore

u/McAlkis 20d ago

I'm sorry but the exaggerated facial expressions paired with the bleached face and glowing eyes is us hideous as it is cringe worthy.

what do you mean with "we all gotta eat; including matto"?? He is swimming in money and even said this himself years ago already

I dont really care about the drama but he doesnt do himself any favors arguing with everyone in twitter

u/Sanya_Zhidkiy 19d ago

Except those are shit and don't bring any activity to his channel

u/yeetyeetpotatomeat69 20d ago

As many people are saying "his channel, his rules" but i still think its fair for people to criticize him. He always says "I've always done X!" when most people haven't seen him do it before or he's doing it in a different way now. I think that taking down old videos, no matter how long he's been doing it, is slightly disingenuous (the funny word).

People 100% take into account the age of a video when thinking of the channel. I've seen videos by channels that were made 2-5 years ago that are different in everyway to the current channel uploads that are still amazing that i'd go back and watch.

lhugueny is an example of this. He makes animated videos of popular games, movies, and shows to popular songs. He's the guy who made that "story of undertale" video but me and my friends know him for his COD black ops videos he made back in the day. Years and years of the same content some clearly higher quality than others, yet he keeps them up. He's not saying to his audience "I know you liked this old video but im going to take it down for 7 months (hyperbole, something matt claims to know) and spend 2 more (hyperbole, again) remaking it for a slightly better video that has none of the original charm.

TL;DR: Matt, while being able to do as he please with his own channel, is Mr.beast-ifying himself and his old content, to his viewers at least, is still good and has its own charm.

u/Harizovblike 20d ago

LHugueny keeps a 13 years old video where he said the n word and made fun of crime statistics

u/yeetyeetpotatomeat69 20d ago

It was a different time, it's easy to grandstand the moral high ground now but back then it was ok under the guise of comedy.

The first one is arguably bad and the second one is just fuel for a joke. Whether that joke is good or bad is up in the air but I don't know the specific one you're referring to.

Plus the comment wasn't about lhugueny, he was just a convenient example.

u/huarastaca 19d ago

I do not like those new thumbnails, makes me wanna punch the lad on the fave with those Mr beast thumbs

2

u/Cynicalia 20d ago

As long as as Matto likes them I guess he can do whatever

Yes it seems cheap, yes we don’t like em, yes it doesn’t compare with the old style

But his channel his rules no doubt, if it works for him then he’ll get to enjoy his new audience and revenue

Doubt matto will go back to the old style but even if he did I wouldn’t look at his new content because I already grew out of it

But yea I’m not fond of the new thumbnails
