He’s been around long enough that he doesn’t need to cater to the typical YouTube algorithm gaming that most channels do these days. But it’s a good point, I’d you do t know about him it’s be easy to miss.

Yeah he does thumbnails/titles fit for what he wants to show to his specific audience and that’s perfectly fine. I wish the algorithm didn’t actively promote clickbait and outrage so every channel could afford to do that, but unfortunately that’s not where the money is for advertisers.

That's a good point. I couldn't certainly understand not knowing him if you're a more recent YouTube user. Just shows my age I guess!
