Who knew that the Home Alone poster would be the template for every YouTube thumbnail ever.
@lobau they never wrapped harry in lights or marv in ribbon #fakenews
@0x4d6165 @lobau further proving the prescience of this as a YouTube thumbnail
@lobau holy whoa, you’re right!
@lobau Parents left me alone in the house at 3am!!!!!
@lobau Home Alone Situation Is Crazy
@lobau At least Kevin actually made that face in the film. Which is more than can be said for most YouTube thumbnail faces...
@lobau Almost there. Missing an arrow or fingerpoint to ragebait. πŸ€”
@lobau every YouTube video i keep away with a 39 1/2 ft pole
@lobau I bumped into Edvard in the high street. He wants his royalties.
@drewran @lobau I'm sorry Mr. Munch, but it appears you painted this before copyright was invented?
@lobau So cringe.. Really makes me hate youtube. These people have no self respect.
@lobau now the Q would be, what would the YouTube title be of this movie...

@lobau

The prototype for the Home Alone poster appears to be The Scream by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1893.

@lobau just needs a red arrow πŸ‘Œ
@lobau It's a well known fact in advertising that ads with human faces on them lead to better engagement/sales, for various reasons. I have a feeling that YouTube algorithm both noticed this and amplified it (or, if not amplified it, I think it's at least mentioned in the Youtube Partner/Creator Program resources, and many other creators follow by example of those who used it).
So that is what happened to mr shit
