I don't mean in terms of how the platform operates, I mean the people.

I was in a computer shop a couple of weeks ago and it seems the windows handheld makers are doing the same shit they have on their laptops - it was filled with pre-installed bloat, including some shit Norton antivirus 1 year subscription.

Something you never see reviews mention, which is crazy.

The fact that it's mostly like Reddit and people mostly act like redditors.

There's not really a way around it though.

Hamilton being above the McLarens is kinda crazy.

Actually, given McLaren's strategy calls recently, maybe it isn't actually that crazy...

You probably think you do that. But this is the same kind of take as people who say "advertising doesn't work on me"

You're probably not the exception to human psychology.

You can find it by using a search engine of your choice. But here's a snippet from one I found in like 5 seconds:

In the SEO company's analysis, they took a look at some of the most viewed videos on YouTube currently and found some similarities between them within their categories. The company sourced YouTube API data in July to conduct the study and analyze the most popular content on the site.

On average, thumbnails that feature stills from the video or images get 1.7 million views, compared to thumbnails with animation, which average 1.4 million views. Seventy-two percent of the most popular thumbnails include a face and get 921,000 more views, on average, than thumbnails without faces.

Believe it or not, YouTube thumbnails have faces because humans like faces. As I stated. It's not some global anti-capitalist cabal conspiring to earn less profit by purposely crafting thumbnails that people don't like.

People are drawn to faces. This is an established scientific fact that I laid out in my very first comment. You aren't special. It applies to you too.

Now, do you have any data on people disliking seeing faces in media?

Look who it is, the person that thinks there's a global conspiracy to make less money, solely in to put faces everywhere despite people supposedly hating it.

You're right. They do it for no reason, people hate it, and it costs them views, pretty much all creators just really want to put their faces on thumbnails.

Oh he's certainly one of the best ever. I'd never dispute that. I can't really name anybody else on the grid capable of seriously going against Lewis over the course of a season.

But the Red Bull has went from the most dominant car ever to second best, with the Mercedes in a not too far behind 3rd (certainly good enough to compete depending on the track)

Max has stated that the car now needs his complete concentration otherwise it's easy to lose control, whereas last season and early this season it was on rails and just did what you wanted it to do.

I think that if he was tired (and I know I would be if I stayed up doing competitive sim-racing past 2 in the morning!), it'd be a lot more noticeable in his current car than in last year's (or early season this year's) car, because he has to be more "on the limit", so-to-speak, in order to get a good result.

Incredible that his first 104 races were all wins
