    I mean I get it, after years of having to look for artists to make thumbsnails or hire people on fiverr instead of taking the time to learn to do it yourself, it is not hard but people are busy sure. I’m sure it’s attractive to people to be able to type in a thing and get a semi professional good enough looking thing that looks basically how they want. I just don’t have to like it or want to see it because as someone who learned all that stuff I find it pretty appalling design wise

            I have a tiny channel, 669 subs, where I play VR games live, on linux, using proton. I’m just in it for fun so I just take a ss and post it as a thumbnail, then run a slide show of ss’s and my logo on OBS while I get ready. My theme song is AI but it was put together by a viewer/mod so I use that til I find someone willing to make me a song. The art was easier to find than music

                Def not willing to pay for thumbnails when I make no money from my chan. I gave up looking for a musician when I was ghosted by 2 of them before we even talked money. I paid a nice lady for my logo, and then paid her to make a Like and Sub video that plays a couple times during the stream.

                If you, or anyone else reading, know any Canadian musicians looking for commissions I’d love to get connected

        I totally agree 100% I was just saying I can understand the attraction if you were a non techie/artist video maker, I find them really offputting, but I never watched a lot of youtube videos anyway. I guess people just have to vote with their clicks if they can
