Black Hole "burps" versus Habitable Worlds

Does anyone else hate the "Silly Faces On YouTube" thing?

They're right up there with ads showing pictures of livers and such for me.

Dr. Becky Smethhurst is, as the Bwi'ish would say ... a bit of a character ... as an astrophysicist (and a youtuber).
She even includes a blooper reel at the end of her videos showing all the takes where she messes up.
 
Oh I'm sure she's a fine person and presenter, there's just this thing on YouTube with the ... banner images...whatever those static video images they use are called, having someone with a SHOCK FACE or something equally unnatural.

As a human being, we react to faces (which is why people use them in promotions), that's also why I don't care for them. I really don't care for banner ads with people in them. Just having people staring back at me.

I have cats for that, thanks.
