Baiting YouTube shorts with fireballs

Yes I know.  It's shallow and guaranteed to please those with a short attention span.

But sometimes one must abuse the system for amusement.

Baiting YouTube shorts with fireballs

Comments

Darn. That thumbnail is quite important for its clickability. Shorts doesn't seem to let you choose a thumbnail properly.

Big Clive

The "Whoofler fireball generator" short popped up on my YouTube feed, but without the above fireball thumbnail.

What is a short att.... zzzz

Caution: "Fireball is not to be performed indoors. Fireball is not to be performed while intoxicated or near other flammable sources. Fireball is not your friend; it's more like that crazy uncle that loves to take you high-speed racing along the coastal freeway, and hasn't had a legal driver's license in 20 years. In other words - knock yourself out."

Maybe not inside the house though….

Big Clive, the world is better off with your fire balls than without them

It appears to be the default setting on the YouTube app for shorts.

I enjoyed it, a fireball is always a good time.

It was taken with the selfy camera on a phone. Most users haven't discovered the "flip the image" button.

I noticed this too... video is indeed reversed.

Soon be bonfire night, instead of a Guy Fawks make a Karen lol, I'm sure you could think of something πŸ€”

Put β€œDarwin Award” in the title. Cheap hit booster.

Playing with Fire. Ahhh so many good memories, so many high quality lessons learned. You can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs, you can't learn 'common-sense' and most practical life-skills without pushing the limits. Good to see, hopefully non-technical types don't over-react.

You are very, very naughty.

Mark Trombley

I am wondering the same thing. Does YouTube assume shorts are shit backwards so it automatically mirrors them? Or is Clive really getting into the spirit of sharts?

Jeremy Impson

In fairness, fireball content is at the of the overlap in the Venn digram of interests held by big Clive fans and the stereotypical #shorts watcher.

Jeremy Impson

Is it me or is the video image mirrored? (scrolling text is back to front - and on the wrong side of the solder reels)
