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.

Because its proven to generate more views, why do people criticize the guy for trying to make a living? Literally every other big youtuber does this... Its effective. I do not understand why people hate someone for complying to an industry norm. Do you also hate real estate agents for putting their smiling face on billboards? Lol.
Yes, we do in fact!
Okay, I'm sorry clearly I'm the irrational one.
Totally agree. The content may be good, but title and thumbnail are marketing only. A silly thumbnail doesn't make the content worse, so nothing wrong in the creator trying to use it as a way to increase their reach
