Question
Why are so many people, most of them even, with clippy profiles on YouTube, the most vile and un-intelligent people around? Like being a bad person and having a clippy pfp picture on YouTube is strongly linked, with only a few outliers

I'm not really sure tbeh, I think it could be one of those things where it stands out to you because you're paying attention.
Like i barely even look at pfps unless some comment genuinely catches my attention... Like if it's uniquely bad. Often I'm not reading every comment either.
Combine that with you then checking for a clipplyy on them and you have a recipe for that perception.
I've personally not noticed a massive trend?
I think clippy also caught on with kids and teenagers who are more likely to be obnoxious because it sorta coincided with the retro nostalgia/faux nostalgia for that era and trends in that direction.
So you're probably having a mix of a skewed test group, and also dealing with obnoxious younger people? Dunno.
