Does anyone else notice the infuriating trend of people renaming youtube videos and swapping thumbnails? (lemm.ee)

It's getting ridiculous. There's one youtuber that swapped the thumbnail 4 times this week just to make people look at it again and think it was a different video. The worst part is that it sort of works, I keep looking at it then remembering I saw something very similar from the same channel name yesterday.

I hate this so damn much.

Yes. I hate it. The real reason isn't necessarily to scam you into rewatching the same videos, but I'm sure they don't mind that.
