Anyone else notice how many Top 10 channels have been appearing in their feed?

 

After I watched one Top 10 video they are all over my feed and I can't resist to not click on the sexy thumbnails sometimes.

I'm just baffled by the fact, that there is a market for so many top 10 channels. 

How many things can you make top 10's off?

In subscriptions feed? Or front page? I don't use YT front page at all. If I need to search for video, I still use my bookmark that is for subscriptions.

And yet the thumbnail never appears in the video, or only a short time

Um yeah, they are such an easy way to gather views on YouTube with their clickbait thumbnails and titles.

They also work very great in YouTube recommendation algorithm, as you often binge watch them causing that channel to stay on your home page for quite a long time and also in your recommendation box.

 

 

 

This was a thing from around 2011, but has come back in 2014. But it always been a thing.
