apparently, the gaping mouth face is used to market #shitcoins
idk what to say, there's something wrong with these people, really really wrong

One of these YouTube-without-the-ads forks should have a filter that removes these videos from search reaults
setting aside the scammery etc, its so interesting how these visual conventions / patterns evolve. its not even like a new language, its more a new communication protocol.
the world in 100 years will be completely incomprehensible to anyone living now
nah, it's a sign of the psychological regression
this is a baby face
super simplified and exaggerated
this is why although cartoons started as adult entertainment they became a tool for brainwashing children because children understand the overt gestures easier, for adults the purpose of the simplification is parody
i think there's more going on. not saying its good! but eg the reason one pic works brilliantly as a meme base and another doesn't.. if you try to explain objectively you realise is very very subtle
nothing new fundamentally - its from humans biological ability to distinguish facial expressions etc. but now its evolving at a completely new rate
"open mouth disease" 
this was one of the originals that got turned into a meme:
the taste of money makes us into dickheads
I don’t know why the klick rate is that good with a open mouth
Mr Beast studied and experimented with it for hours until he discovered he was able to consistently up his conversion rate with open mouth cover art. As time wore on, audiences needed more and more exaggerated expressions to click. And here we are.
It's the same recursion that happens in AI.
Do thing 1

Action: Suppress Discoverability
what works depends on who is susceptible i think
soyboys like soy and shitcoins, obviously
The gaping mouth isn't about what works, was my point. It worked ONCE and the algorithm supplies the mouth gaping as the main discoverability factor, regardless of contrary efficacy data. The "logic" is mouth gaping worked so, anything that isn't mouth gaping WON'T work. Supress non mouth gape content.
I don't agree with that logic, I am just pointing out the AI recursion problem.
you can already see it happening with AI models becoming full of data from AI models, it's like repeatedly encoding an image with jpeg, decode to pixels, reencode to jpeg, until the image is all full of artifacts
it's the trajectory of idiocracy, feeding back data through an endless cycle of retards until it's a cargo cult
