From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I hate those obnoxious Youtube thumbnails.
Seriously. Why the hell is the guy's face in there anyway? I would understand if it was Nvidia's logo that was large as hell. I imagine it might be to tell his followers "it's me" but whatever.
Unfortunately it has been proven that putting a stupid human face into the thumbnail makes your audience much bigger. It would be nice if YouTube had a "show stupid face" option.
The reverse exists, there is the DeArrow extension which removes thumbnails like this and replaces it with a crowdsourced frame of the video.
Huh, nice extension. Thanks for the heads up.
I like that this exists but I don't want to use it because i want to know the content creatos to avoid, thumbnails are part of the game, but putting your face on them feels like a cheap trick ( since it's unecessary ), effective.. yes... but cheap..
