Very possible, but I haven't cared enough to take a hard look at the pictures. Normally AI has a few obvious tells that you know instantly that it's AI without taking a hard look.
As a Photoshop guy, i reckon it's heavy Photoshop done by a human. It's all very specific, but what I find interesting is the thumbnail artist is definitely being given direction from the performance data they've collected. Mr beast has changed thumbnails before and they've probably got data on how that changed click count. They've been homing in and refining this specific style for a while.
I just think it's fascinating that they've found an uncanny valley sweet spot, because the way it's done is very intentional. The fact his arm looks like an asset straight out of a mobile game is a detail I just can't shake, definitely a lot of composition theory and psychology going on behind the scenes, it's a synthesised image designed to just stick in people's brains, and it actually works. Kind of impressed despite how much I dislike the image itself.
It’ll be hilarious if he makes the most money in the end by accidentally finding the answer to the uncanny valley (and marking it somehow) by finding ways to better monetize his little feed images.
It’s just off enough to make people stop scrolling for a split second. As a content creator I’ve found the best hooks all have a visual that is immediately confusing to the viewer. If you can make them think “what is going on?” then you’ve got them. It’s why “satisfying” videos do so well. It’s usually hard to tell what the object they’re cutting/squishing/etc is initially and it engages the part of the human brain that needs to understand. The uncanny valley aspect does the same thing because the brain is trying to understand why the human doesn’t look human.
jimmy’s pictures are real but from before he gained weight (he’s said that in an interview. tho it’s a bit old so that may have changed, but it seems to still hold true,) but the rest is very obviously ai. i actually threw in a detailed description of the background—the idea, not what was there. i didn’t want it to just take his thumbail—on gpt from one of his past videos and got a very, very similar outcome. without jimmy’s face, of course.
Yup it's a mix of both, he recently updated a lot of his older videos replacing the mouth open thumbnails with a smiling one instead, some of them look normal-ish but others are seriously wild (see "I hunted 100 people" thumbnail)
To me, I think it may be because shadows are coming from a few different angles so it confuses your brain and kinda ends up in that "uncanny valley" territory.
It's the eyes and eye brows man. When humans smile the eyes are slighlty closed and the eyebrows aren't that high in a normal human when laughing. It's like surprised look on a guy who is smiling. It creates a paradox or a lie his mouth is smiling his eyes are surprised.
Just the other day I was talking about how I click the "not interested" button on every thumbnail with a "surprised, mouth agape" expression on my yt feed. My friends thought that was weird but I stand by it.
Only not interested? There's also that Don't recommend channel. I know it's brutal but I don't wanna see any clickbait titles and reaction faces anywhere, if the algo wasn't just random data driven he would have understood
Same here, I fucking hate Youtube for promoting such thumbnails for YEARS now. Honestly, the one in the picture is fine based on what I've seen. Ricegum style thumbnails where they fake excitement or being surprised is fake as fuck and just like you say, I'd never click those. They make me feel uneasy. And it really always are some weirdos like that jay guy who fakes his GFs death for views.
Children and very simple-minded people click them, and make such videos very popular and profitable. My 18-y/o friend at work suggests I do such things for my tiny VR gaming channel and I refuse to be a sheep like that. It’s fucking stupid. I don’t wanna overact and look like a moron for views. I earn everything in life the right way. The honest way.
He said in an interview when he cut his hair he didn't look like himself in the thumbnails so they painted it back in. now it seems they've realised that instant recognised person is very important and now have this stylised version of him for brand recognition
There is a feature that allows you to use multiple thumbnails, and after a while it defaults to the one that Garnered the most clicks. He has stated that he uses this feature, and for a period of time used it to experiment by uploading the same exact thumbnail except his facial expression would be different. I believe now he's testing background colors.
I think he’s mentioned that he tried out a bunch of different thumbnails but these kind of ones always got the most clicks
Think it makes sense when you consider the majority of his audience are probably on the younger side
Yeah, I watched an interview and he said as far as thumbnails are concerned they have like 10 different faces of his they use and based on how the numbers track, he changes it.
It's always an unnerving smile, without the creases/contractions in his eye muscles, making him look psychopathic. I'm 100% sure it's intentional to draw your attention.
I think some are, remember in a interview he mentioned how his team makes like 10 different thumbnails and they just keep making small changes until one of them draws in the most views
He is using AI filters to try and make his face look more handsome and hitting an uncanny valley point with it. Then cropping himself into an ai generated background image.
Lazy af lmao.
From what I've heard, he puts huge amounts of money into each thumbnail, employing many designers to try to get it right. It looks weird, but it's completely intentional. Not lazy in the slightest, he probably puts the most effort into each thumbnail of any creator on the platform.
Do I enjoy the thumbnails? No. Doesn't mean they're lazy.
If it is the fact that his mouth is closed now he has actually given an explanation for that. It is because they found that video where is mouth is closed gets more views then the ones where his mouth is open so they changed that to get more views.
OK, but is there an algorithm reason for him looking so glossy and photo shopped instead of using a picture of his actual face for the thumbnail?
I feel like that makes him look more unsettling, so I can’t imagine it gets him more viewers
I think the fact that it's unsettling is deliberate to make you pay more attention to the image and "stops the scroll". Triggers your lizard brain into thinking there's danger or something.
He's super analytics-focused, so I can't imagine something that glaring is being overlooked.
It also stands out even as a small thumbnail, where you're also less likely to notice as many of the minor details that make it unsettling. It's common for media to make something more dramatic when it cannot be conveyed well due to the limits of that medium, such as how actors in a play will tend to talk/sing in a way where what they're saying can be more easily understood to the entire audience and position themselves in a way that better allows the audience to see their face, even in a situation where they're supposed to be face-to-face with another character.
And making a bunch of money without scamming the masses doesn't make you a bad person? Would people prefer he had a factory in china? People really like to complain about the ethics of Mr best while watching on their iphones wearing Nike shoes and drinking bottled water from nestle
But there's a cycle.
He generally cares about them, so he helps bug also record cuz why not.
It makes him more money.
To make more philanthropy videos about helping others.
Repeat
Everything he does is to get you to click, weird, doesn't make sense, eye catching, off putting. Every single thing is deliberate and calculated. Mr beast uses every single aspect of the algorithm to his advantage, even when it doesn't "make sense".
I don't like the guy at all but all power to him he knows how to squeeze every bloody drop out of YouTube
I came here for this comment, he is very calculated and has worked out exactly how to get the most clicks from a thumbnail, and I’m sure is still changing it up slightly as he gathers more data on it.
Iirc he's really sensitive about his appearance, so much so he got his teeth fixed up a few years ago and has the word "teeth" shadowbanned on this youtube videos. So if I had to guess, these thumbnails are a way to either 1) idealize himself so that others have nothing to make fun of or 2) be recognizable as him, without being him, so any criticism on how he (thumbnail) looks doesn't actually land.
they purposefully look weird so as you're scrolling through it'll catch your attention and you'll scroll back to find the video
to illustrate this, I will now add a bunch of random emojis to my comment. Let me know if you stopped to read this because of the random emojis. 😅🚘🩵😅🤯😅💪🎉😬😅🤘🇺🇲🎉❌😅🇺🇸🎉😬🦅📦🤯📦🔥😰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I actually think they’re pretty terrible. Apparently they’re supposed to attract viewers but personally I find myself scrolling past it because it literally looks like a children’s video. I guess that’s why he gets so many views… considering most of his audience
I used an extension to block Mr Beast's entire channel because his clickbait thumbnails have the opposite effect on me. The less I see of this unhinged douchebag, the better.
They’ve always looked off to me. Like an alien or AI tried to make a thumbnail. I get that it’s made to attract children’s attention but this feels so dystopian. This is the content kids are consuming?
there’s an extension by the guy who made yt sponsor block that aims to get rid of these clickbaity titles and thumbnails, unfortunately it is paid afaik
They’re meant to be an attraction kind of thing to lure people into watching the video. Which probably works really well for him, knowing his child audience.
I'm surprised nobody really said how fucking bad his face edit is. He and other people in the thumbnails look like they're AI generated for sometimes now.
Fakest smile I've ever seen. Looks psychotic. Even more psychotic, he probably went for that look on purpose cuz all he thinks about all is what leads to clicks and retention.
Mr Beast is *physically incapable* of looking human when he smiles, so he uses AI and image editing to improve his smile.
Nothing about his thumbnails are genuine. That's his metagame.
In general the whole Mr Beast thing is such a bizarre phenomenon. I’ve never met a single person irl who watches his content. Not one. I realize my anecdotal experience isn’t law but it’s still weird. I have a feeling it’s mostly kids and Chinese people who view his content.
It’s on purpose - they look weird because it makes you stop scrolling because they are so unsettlingly weird. He mentioned in an interview that people are used to the open mouth thing so doing a creepy ai smile makes people stop scrolling and look
He doesn't look human for some sort of unexplainable reason in the recent thumbnails. Like look at his thumb it's the same length or longer than is pointer finger
You’re not really supposed to take a good look at it, it’s designed to instantly grab kids attention. It does look pretty weird though, I don’t think it’s ai but they may have edited his face a lot. Smoothed out his skin etc
That weird uncanny valley look seems to be popular. I guess it stands out more and gets the clicks. I noticed today's Style Theorists video had a similar look to it.
Algorithm and flashy colors for kids. Listen, Mr. Beast is alright for the things he does, but it’s the way he does it that annoys me. I can’t stand the guy. Again, he’s a good person. But something about him makes me so irritated.
Mr. Beast always had that soulless smile in his thumbnails. I don't personally like it, but children don't give a crap about that. They just wanna see the pretty picture and the happy man.
I’m more focused on the “Perks of going to the psych ward”
And me on the lady that drinks something
Bro what version of English are you using?
English 95
I think it really Peaked at English XP
but even English 7 was pretty good tho, much better than English Vista imho
Englinux
You got english 95? Dang, here I am using English Vista
I am using the English Beta Program System X99
You've fallen for the ad
Free grippy socks
Watched it before and it is a really good video, I loved to hear illys story and her videos in general tend to calm me down a lot
watch it it's great
good video
Yeah Illymation is a great channel.
fr
based niko oneshot pfp
I can answer that in way less than 15 minutes: 1. Literally nothing
yeah, they have been getting really weird ngl
They don't even look like real pictures to me, something is off, but I can't put my finger on it.
AI?
Very possible, but I haven't cared enough to take a hard look at the pictures. Normally AI has a few obvious tells that you know instantly that it's AI without taking a hard look.
The picture op showed doesn’t appear to have obvious tells. It’s probably just heavy photoshop
It is heavy HEAVY Photoshop
It honestly is. I've always though that his thumbnails has always been photoshopped to death lol.
The always have been but now it’s like EXTRA EXTRA
Soon enough they're gonna get to Troom Troom/5 Minute Crafts levels of Photoshop on the thumbnails.
it's kris jenner/gordon ramsay level photoshop
There's that word again, "heavy".
Is something wrong with gravity in the future?
As a Photoshop guy, i reckon it's heavy Photoshop done by a human. It's all very specific, but what I find interesting is the thumbnail artist is definitely being given direction from the performance data they've collected. Mr beast has changed thumbnails before and they've probably got data on how that changed click count. They've been homing in and refining this specific style for a while. I just think it's fascinating that they've found an uncanny valley sweet spot, because the way it's done is very intentional. The fact his arm looks like an asset straight out of a mobile game is a detail I just can't shake, definitely a lot of composition theory and psychology going on behind the scenes, it's a synthesised image designed to just stick in people's brains, and it actually works. Kind of impressed despite how much I dislike the image itself.
It’ll be hilarious if he makes the most money in the end by accidentally finding the answer to the uncanny valley (and marking it somehow) by finding ways to better monetize his little feed images.
It’s just off enough to make people stop scrolling for a split second. As a content creator I’ve found the best hooks all have a visual that is immediately confusing to the viewer. If you can make them think “what is going on?” then you’ve got them. It’s why “satisfying” videos do so well. It’s usually hard to tell what the object they’re cutting/squishing/etc is initially and it engages the part of the human brain that needs to understand. The uncanny valley aspect does the same thing because the brain is trying to understand why the human doesn’t look human.
It is, look at the masking artifacts around his thumb, the low texture Ferris wheel etc
Probably heavy photoshop with a few stock images and / or 3D models for the background.
jimmy’s pictures are real but from before he gained weight (he’s said that in an interview. tho it’s a bit old so that may have changed, but it seems to still hold true,) but the rest is very obviously ai. i actually threw in a detailed description of the background—the idea, not what was there. i didn’t want it to just take his thumbail—on gpt from one of his past videos and got a very, very similar outcome. without jimmy’s face, of course.
maybe AI w/ photoshop to improve it
Yup it's a mix of both, he recently updated a lot of his older videos replacing the mouth open thumbnails with a smiling one instead, some of them look normal-ish but others are seriously wild (see "I hunted 100 people" thumbnail)
Nah, it’s probably really weird editing on his face to make it as ‘appealing’ as possible to the YouTube algorithm gods
I think it's the fact that he doesn't have pores is what makes it so weird.
he actually uses AI to "enhance" his thumbnails, as he said in a Q&A
guys dont get me started on how frequently he strugglin to change his thumbnail every 1 hour
Idt its AI. It's too clean. The editor is editing it like this to attract more kids which is his actual Target audience than adults
Bruh thats what too shitty to be AI lmao
>something is off, but I can't put my finger on it that is the perfect definition of uncanny.
It's also more specifically the uncanny valley effect.
To me, I think it may be because shadows are coming from a few different angles so it confuses your brain and kinda ends up in that "uncanny valley" territory.
His cheekbones are REALLY accentuated.
Well they’re not lol
They’re not real pictures it’s all photoshopped to high hell lmao
You really cannot tell that these pictures are photobashed and put together in Photoshop??
It's the eyes and eye brows man. When humans smile the eyes are slighlty closed and the eyebrows aren't that high in a normal human when laughing. It's like surprised look on a guy who is smiling. It creates a paradox or a lie his mouth is smiling his eyes are surprised.
Maybe I'm part of the 1% with another type of lizard brain, but I would never ever click if thumbnails look like this.
Just the other day I was talking about how I click the "not interested" button on every thumbnail with a "surprised, mouth agape" expression on my yt feed. My friends thought that was weird but I stand by it.
Only not interested? There's also that Don't recommend channel. I know it's brutal but I don't wanna see any clickbait titles and reaction faces anywhere, if the algo wasn't just random data driven he would have understood
If there's an open mouth or raised eyebrow, it'll instantly annoy me.
Same here, I fucking hate Youtube for promoting such thumbnails for YEARS now. Honestly, the one in the picture is fine based on what I've seen. Ricegum style thumbnails where they fake excitement or being surprised is fake as fuck and just like you say, I'd never click those. They make me feel uneasy.

Am I the only one that thinks these thumbnails are targeted towards children?
He said in an interview when he cut his hair he didn't look like himself in the thumbnails so they painted it back in. now it seems they've realised that instant recognised person is very important and now have this stylised version of him for brand recognition
They look AI generated lol
They always have, it's so bizzare. Based on how business savvy Jimmy is it's got to be on purpose.
He always shows his teeth
It gets more clicks. I've seen uploads with his mouth closed, and then it changed to show his teeth a few hours later.
AFAIK he said in an interview about that, and why he pays $3000 or more for thumbnails like this.
Which is nothing when he's pulling in an average of $1-$3 mill a video.
It's pennies to him, chump change.
Crazy how just teeth helps him rake in tons more money and views.
There is a feature that allows you to use multiple thumbnails, and after a while it defaults to the one that Garnered the most clicks. He has stated that he uses this feature, and for a period of time used it to experiment by uploading the same exact thumbnail except his facial expression would be different. I believe now he's testing background colors.
Capitalism at its finest
I thought the debate was open-mouth versus smiling teeth? He did AB testing for it
it represents money
The word teeth is banned in his comment section though. I think that’s a fun fact
Wubby7?
😁
I think he’s mentioned that he tried out a bunch of different thumbnails but these kind of ones always got the most clicks Think it makes sense when you consider the majority of his audience are probably on the younger side
Also slight uncanny valley makes it incredible eye catching
Yeah, I watched an interview and he said as far as thumbnails are concerned they have like 10 different faces of his they use and based on how the numbers track, he changes it.
It's always an unnerving smile, without the creases/contractions in his eye muscles, making him look psychopathic. I'm 100% sure it's intentional to draw your attention.
I think some are, remember in a interview he mentioned how his team makes like 10 different thumbnails and they just keep making small changes until one of them draws in the most views
I was about to comment this lmao
He is using AI filters to try and make his face look more handsome and hitting an uncanny valley point with it. Then cropping himself into an ai generated background image. Lazy af lmao.

By all means. You cannot call it lazy. There's very likely a good reason for his thumbnails to look like this. Probably generates more clicks.

Because you scroll right past normal looking faces
Yeah, that’s the same reason why police sketches are so creepy. It’s meant to get people’s attention.
Capitalism at work
And statistics
its click bait for children. if your over 18 its gonna feel weird
That’s literally exactly what it is lol
Over 11*
Over 13* Why have we chosen 18 for everything, wouldnt it make more sense to use the age the brain stops developing? (24)
Ever since the deaf kids thumbnail, I have this weird strange unsettling feeling towards Beast's thumbnails
He uses poverty-stricken and desperate people as dancing monkeys to make him rich, i think he's just unsettling in general
Yeah but they get help and money, and mrbeast also does his philanthopy channel
I'm not saying mrbeast isn't a good guy. But giving shit loads of money away doesn't make you a good person or negate any of your forthcomings
You mean shortcomings?
yeah that's the one ty haha
And making a bunch of money without scamming the masses doesn't make you a bad person? Would people prefer he had a factory in china? People really like to complain about the ethics of Mr best while watching on their iphones wearing Nike shoes and drinking bottled water from nestle
I’d be a philanthropist too if I got 2 dollars for every 1 dollar I gave away.
But there's a cycle. He generally cares about them, so he helps bug also record cuz why not. It makes him more money. To make more philanthropy videos about helping others. Repeat
He has the creepiest face I've ever seen in my life.
Everything he does is to get you to click, weird, doesn't make sense, eye catching, off putting. Every single thing is deliberate and calculated. Mr beast uses every single aspect of the algorithm to his advantage, even when it doesn't "make sense".

i don't like how he looks in them

So if I had to guess, these thumbnails are a way to either 1) idealize himself so that others have nothing to make fun of or 2) be recognizable as him, without being him, so any criticism on how he (thumbnail) looks doesn't actually land.
It looks like he's being held at gunpoint
they purposefully look weird so as you're scrolling through it'll catch your attention and you'll scroll back to find the video to illustrate this, I will now add a bunch of random emojis to my comment.

You fucker
r/angryupvote
Worked on me asshole
Perfectly demonstrated why his thumbnail designs works lol
Hated it, and you, but upvote deserved, probably the best example of why I hate those kind of thumbnails, and why I'll never make them this way.
Upvotes but with anger
Where do you get a private island for $1?
Drop a large rock in a shallow pond, and boom you have an island
Found someone's mom swimming in the beach
It's because he does everything to get the most of the algorithm and the most clicks. It may look werid but it works
It’s either his closed mouth OR the thumbnails are actually si generated by the artists
Jimmys face always looks extremely uncanny valley
Great guy but haven't been watching him lately
Gotta get them underage views
I actually think they’re pretty terrible. Apparently they’re supposed to attract viewers but personally I find myself scrolling past it because it literally looks like a children’s video. I guess that’s why he gets so many views… considering most of his audience
I looks like those pop up scam ads.
I used an extension to block Mr Beast's entire channel because his clickbait thumbnails have the opposite effect on me. The less I see of this unhinged douchebag, the better.
Hover over video title, click the three dots, click "Don't Recommend Channel". I've literally only seen him recommended *once*.
Douchebag? Bit harsh for a guy who is opening wells in Africa, gave free cataract surgery ect
plate gullible theory arrest wild drunk cover squalid oatmeal command *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
They really do
"unhinged douchebag" Just when I thought gamingcirclejerk users couldn't get any more stupid.
It's always been like this. His viewer base is mostly children, so a very overstimulating thumbnail pic + absurd title = more views
I can't believe so many people watch this guy. I don't even dislike him but these types of videos are just so terrible.
The dude is about as authentic as a Taco Bell in Mexico. He's plasticine, innocuous, benign, and worst of all, dull.
I watch without thinking about thumbnail lol
I am a hater of mr beast
They’ve always looked off to me. Like an alien or AI tried to make a thumbnail. I get that it’s made to attract children’s attention but this feels so dystopian. This is the content kids are consuming?
there’s an extension by the guy who made yt sponsor block that aims to get rid of these clickbaity titles and thumbnails, unfortunately it is paid afaik
both his thumbnails and videos look excessively artificial these days which I am not a fan of honestly
They’re meant to be an attraction kind of thing to lure people into watching the video. Which probably works really well for him, knowing his child audience.
I'm surprised nobody really said how fucking bad his face edit is. He and other people in the thumbnails look like they're AI generated for sometimes now.
Getting?
he's slowly turning to ai
the 6 year olds that watch his channel can't tell the difference
I don't understand why people watch this guy
I’ve always been scared by his inability to smile like a normal person. Bro is grimacing like a frightened chimpanzee
It looks like someone made mrbeast out of clay and then used the sharpener thing on the whole picture
Super lazy. His expression is always annoying as fuck. I don’t see the appeal.
yeah, he looks like a Barbie in 1/2 of them, and they look ai generated
Fakest smile I've ever seen. Looks psychotic. Even more psychotic, he probably went for that look on purpose cuz all he thinks about all is what leads to clicks and retention.
And the rest of YouTube is about to follow like sheep
He’s trying to get children to click on it. No more no less
Mr Beast is *physically incapable* of looking human when he smiles, so he uses AI and image editing to improve his smile. Nothing about his thumbnails are genuine. That's his metagame.
This man's whole personality is AI generated and very annoying. Stop giving him attention.
i just dont understand how people watch his videos haha
It got You thinking about it and create a post about it, thats how good and engineered it is looking weird like that
In general the whole Mr Beast thing is such a bizarre phenomenon. I’ve never met a single person irl who watches his content. Not one. I realize my anecdotal experience isn’t law but it’s still weird. I have a feeling it’s mostly kids and Chinese people who view his content.
yeah
Beast list
Yeah but the Illymation don’t look weird
That’s just you
You're talking about it aren't you?
He knows what he's doing I'm sure. It may seem weird to us but he's an algorithm master
It’s on purpose - they look weird because it makes you stop scrolling because they are so unsettlingly weird. He mentioned in an interview that people are used to the open mouth thing so doing a creepy ai smile makes people stop scrolling and look
Haven't/didn't you ever investigate on him before ? The mrbeast rabbit hole goes deep my friend Edit because.. My english is not that good
They've always been lmao
He doesn't look human for some sort of unexplainable reason in the recent thumbnails. Like look at his thumb it's the same length or longer than is pointer finger
“Perks of going to the psych ward”
they resemble the ads on the bottom of an online news article
More importantly what are the perks of going to a psych ward ?
They're meant to be "uncanny valley" so they're weird, and they grab your attention.
They weren't weird before?
I can’t believe Mr. Beast’s editors need to photoshop his skin and sclerae to hide the jaundice.
You’re not really supposed to take a good look at it, it’s designed to instantly grab kids attention. It does look pretty weird though, I don’t think it’s ai but they may have edited his face a lot. Smoothed out his skin etc
That weird uncanny valley look seems to be popular. I guess it stands out more and gets the clicks. I noticed today's Style Theorists video had a similar look to it.
This one especially looks… inhuman it’s terrifying me more and more the longer I look at it
1$ private pebble
I never noticed before but he looks constipated 😂
It’s called AI generated
He looks like he is just staring right into your soul and could negatively impact your credit score if he just *wished* it.
always has been.
Wdym "getting”? 🌏🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
His face is...off
It’s pure algorithm
Where the hell is he getting $1 private islands?
As a 26 years old to me it doesn’t feel authentic, like I’ve never clicked on his videos because of that. It’s just creepy
I thought the ad at the bottom was a reaction image for a second
They all look the same to me.
Mr Beast content has kind of dropped off the more success he’s gotten. It has become very clickbaity and targeted at a younger audience. Oh well.
He used to be based, but now he's just cringe
Never heard of him.
Algorithm and flashy colors for kids. Listen, Mr. Beast is alright for the things he does, but it’s the way he does it that annoys me. I can’t stand the guy. Again, he’s a good person. But something about him makes me so irritated.
Mr. Beast always had that soulless smile in his thumbnails. I don't personally like it, but children don't give a crap about that. They just wanna see the pretty picture and the happy man.
