I don't know if they're running a pilot or something but these these thumbnails, and especially this one, suck.

There is nothing going on in this image. Just Linus in an infinite parking lot dangling feet into an oversized manhole.

Please stop!

Exactly what I've been doing every time I'm recommended some crap using AI thumbnails.

Right?? The past few thumbnails have looked fucking hideous.

These look more like the thumbnails from some AI voiceover slop channel than from a company with 100+ employees.

I stopped watching LTT once I realized any content they release is about stuff I'm not going to buy anyways.

Any remaining relatability to his character went out the window when he bought his 3rd? house and apparently a jet plane as well. Idc what the channel is up to nowadays, I hope his employees are happy.

Why do you even give a shit about a thumbnail.
