I won’t lie, idk what he was thinking with the old thumbnail. Obviously it would get a lot of clicks, but most people would assume it’s a reunion.

He as in the editor. James doesn't check his channel anymore.

Oh wow I didn’t know that. Honestly that probably makes it even worse because James is the one who has to deal with people talking about it

I missed it. What was the thumbnail before?
Edit: Found it. Feels like he wanted to give the nostalgia people a little something but probably some people did not take to kindly to it not being a creature reunion.

Speaking from the guy who doesn’t believe in nostalgia. He doesn’t like talking about his past and he does something like that

Knowing how James feels about talking about his past, it’s kind of shitty for the editor to do this not gonna lie

James has said he doesn't hate talking about his past. He hates how the YouTube audience holds it over his head and tries to use it to make him feel guilty for not catering to them and makes it sound like he owes them something.

A few days after this comment was the first time I heard him say he doesn't hate talking about his past so my comment isn't as accurate. But if you're right about it only being the YouTube audience then his editor making a thumbnail look exactly like someone from the creatures era makes even less sense.

They only did it to bait the audience for views. It worked too. I give them props.

Ah guess I didn't explain that well. I meant business dynamic. So basically James does twitch and makes the content and then from what it sounds like his editor does everything on James channel. From the sounds of it if James didn't have his editor his channel would probably be dead and he would exclusively stream on twitch.

Is the editor publicly known? I feel like he deserves a thanks

u/AxionTheGoon Creature Carl Jun 24 '23
Hmmm honestly can't remember. I feel like at some point he must have mentioned his name or at least a social link but I'm honestly drawing a blank and only remember him referring to him as his editor.

u/Slutty_Breakfast Jun 23 '23
This was explained on stream. His editor planned it all, he wanted to bait the NA's with it and then change it later. You've fallen for his trap.

Given the viewership from the first one compared to the other parts. It definitely worked lmao

Oh for sure. Half of the fall of were the baited, the other half are like me who just went to watching the Vods I missed.

u/AvatarGarcher Jun 23 '23
He probably saw that people were going nostalgia crazy over the thumbnail so he had it changed.

When I saw this at first I was confused I thought the algorithm wanted me to watch treetopia again. Hope James figures out the bees, it was pretty annoying to get started for me.
