      Being a fan/subscriber of the channel since the early days, this video hit me hard. You can see the sadness in Marques’ eyes when the lg flex thumbnail gets brought up. For a channel that hit Samsung so hard for the fake moon pictures, having ultra processed images that simply don’t exist in real life rubs me the wrong way. On the other hand, he’s doing so well that he can afford to pay a person exclusively to create thumbnails. Insane flex.

It was still a level above everyone else and with Tim joining and The Studio talent expanding that quality of work has just kept on increasing. Kudos to you all!

    This insight is so incredibly important for those of us trying to start creating. Thanks so much for sharing! Also love how most of Tim's input is how each edit made him feel. Its not all about the data or the analytics; even talented pros like Tim have moments of self doubt which is so reassuring to hear.

    Reminded me of when clients or developers would try to do my job for me back in the day.

    That being said, MKBHD's old thumbnails still look good despite the bootleg process.

Used Photoshop of course, so hearing that Marques used Gimp really hurt my soul. I remember I took "College Web Design" in 10th grade, and we had to use Gimp... it was disgusting. I just did everything at home on Photoshop lol.
