That sponsored thumbnail with the red arrow pointing at nothing got 3 million views and I'm baffled
Last Tuesday I clicked a cooking video where the thumbnail showed a giant red arrow pointing at empty counter space, and the actual recipe was just boiled pasta, so has anyone else noticed that the worse the thumbnail lies, the more engagement it gets?

Did you see that study about how our brains literally can't resist a bright red arrow even when it's pointing at nothing? It's like the thumbnail equivalent of a car alarm, it just grabs you before you can think.
