I kind of like Willies -- but when did DU become a platform for a personal Youtube channel?
Or, at the very least -- tell us that's what we're linking to.

(42,862 posts)I've suggested that to him as well (in his Youtube comments) but he's got a big ego... and doesn't like suggestions or criticism. There's always an excuse. He won't even use a little powder on his shiny head (says he wants to be "natural" and not cave-in to the beauty products industry). At that point I asked if he even bothered to bathe or use deodorant... or does he not want to give-in to the human hygiene industry. Anyway, a few words were exchanged, and then he got a little snippy and defensive.
The thing is this... the thumbnail is CHOSEN BY HIM and UPLOADED AS A SEPARATE IMAGE. He's being deceptive on purpose!!! He's making a conscious effort to mislead and create CLICK BAIT!!
It's not some "random" thumbnail that's generated automatically by Youtube (if it were, it would be ONE frame from about the halfway point in the video).

2. Do I bathe? hmmmm
3. Do I use deodorant? hmmmm
4. I have a big ego because I do not agree with you on thumbnails and I am not willing to make my hue acceptable to you.
I have very few people that complain about my style. I listen to ALL of my listeners but will never be able to please all. I try to please most without compromising my values as I would expect out of you and others as well.
In a free country on a platform where I make sure to support financially, you have the choice to go passed my posts but chooses to watch them. I do thank you for that because at some point I hope a specific issue will connect with you.
But I bet if I allowed YouTube to pick my thumbnail whereas as the commentator on the video it is likely to paste my face that so offends you, you would then tell me, why don't I use an acceptable thumbnail that does not feature me. I DO NOT have a large ego. And if you had taken the time to research before commenting, you would know my history.
I have shown nothing but respect to your discernable prejudice. You likely won't like this response but I just wanted to let you know I know you are coming across loud and clear. Be well and check your heart.

(42,862 posts)I have high standards.... not prejudices (except that I don't like dishonest and deceptive clickbait.)
Edit: I like the new green screen background. The library book motif makes you look smart. So much better than the apocalyptic burning earth.

(7,429 posts)Maybe he figures that his ass-kissing isn't getting him anywhere with the viewers, and so he's "adapting" to an environment that will eventually spit him onto the street if he doesn't wake up and smell the coffee.
