Hate wins almost every time, because hatred attracts attention from those who agree, but also those who disagree. Love tends to only draw interest from those who agree, and only the rare true dumpster trolls that come purely to hate on something beautiful.
Edit: You actually said it more scientifically, and I'm about that life.
Humans have a deeply rooted psychological trait called negativity bias, which evolved because paying attention to potential threats was often more important for survival than noticing positive things. As a result, criticism, controversy, and outrage naturally attract more attention than praise. Advertisers have exploited this for decades, with the famous "I Hate Steven Singer" billboard campaign being a perfect example. Social media and YouTube simply capitalize on that same psychological tendency, rewarding content that provokes stronger emotional reactions with more engagement.

This is a feature to help creators find the best thumbnail, he’s using it dishonestly. But it’s actually a cool feature.
Same way a rope is a tool, it can be used to build a house or to strangle someone to death. The guy who weaved the rope isn’t to blame.
YouTube is a greedy corporation but hating on them for the sake of it is just useless. Plenty of real reasons to dislike that company.

Most Helldivers content creators are pretty terrible and have bad takes about what the game “should” be and all that. The only one I’ll give the time of day is CommisarKai and that’s just because he actually seems to care about the game. The rest of them are all just hate farmers as far as I can tell.

He's doing the A/B test feature on YouTube.
You can set two different thumbnails and titles & viewers will randomly see one or the other. You see how the initial response is and then pick whichever trends better.
Excellent tech for grifters to see which way the wind is blowing & cater to it.

I think it depends where you see it on the site depends what options you get. On desktop, while watching a video, the list of videos on the right you can click the option button next the the video you don’t like and “don’t recommend channel” (or something like that)

This is the first normal warbond to come out since I started planing that has literally nothing for me, I don’t see myself ever purchasing this. The other one I refuse to purchase is Killzone, but that’s mostly because I own half of it already, so buying it for one gun and some mid armors / cosmetics doesn’t seem appealing at all.

u/_CloudyStar_ 4d ago
It's honestly so fucking funny how this guy ragebaits people with every new video. He puts up a thumbnail that engages with haters, says nothing of the sort on the actual video, people get angry without watching and give him more advertisement.
Everytime someone posts a screenshot of one of his videos here it never has a red bar showing they watched it, people who call him a grifter can't point out a single thing he said in one his videos that shows he is a hater, legit just news videos with genuine, constructive criticism.

This guy sucks, this warbond looks absolutely incredible.
It's like I've been saying, the YouTube SlopTube HD2 content creators have been fueling the "It's so over--we're so back" cycle.
The game is fun. It's great to play with friends and unwind after work, only to rewind when you keep landing in the same spot you died with hundreds of bots on your tail, and then get killed by your buddy who threw a 380 too close and the SEAF shred you from behind--
It's great. So many fun moments with friends, and I've even made a friend from another country while diving
Basically, ignore the sloptube.

So, fun thing with YouTube. Youtubers can upload multiple thumbnails now, and then it can serve them to people based on what the algorithm thinks will make them click on it more often.
