This is the unfortunate part of the "science" of clickbait thumbnails that generate clicks and traffic.

A lot of creators go down this slippery slope of purposefully putting up controversial or provocative #### in the thumbnails for their videos in order to help generate an audience.

It's a bit of an ethics issue that no one in the digital creator community talks about but it's an issue nevertheless, given how people posting these appear to have no line they aren't willing to cross if it gets eyeballs on the videos.

It's too bad they've joined countless others in doing that. But such is the reality of the "attention" industry.

It's standard YouTube procedure and nothing to really get worked up about. If it helps with sponsors showing increased view counts and clicks to their vids then so be it, they have to pay the bills and I'm grateful for all the content we get. A post-game show after every game is some serious content hours, let alone the regular show.

At least they aren't putting a picture in the thumbnail of a girl with a thick butt, only to watch the video and there is no thick butt presented. Those are the worst.

Ah yes.. the standard youtube conduct of posting educational videos on some conventional subject where the user has provocative body shots as the thumbnail lol.

Maybe this is the next step for Pinder.. Gotta bait that next few thousand subscribers somehow..

I really enjoy Afterburner when it's Cami and Rhett. They have some good chemistry.

Cami is great on After Burner. She’s knowledgeable and funny/not boring. Is she a permanent member of the Barn Burner team?

I think she is. The way they were talking a while back, it sounds like they want to expand their format in the future and she's part of that. That's the impression I had anyway.

I agree, she is great. I like the Barn Burner guys, but it's nice to add other personalities aside from the dude bro types.

Oh, I guess I think of Barn Burner and After Burner as Boomer’s, Pinder’s and Warrener’s creations. Those three don’t want to always do After Burner, so they have a rotating cast of characters to assist with After Burner. But I feel like Cami should be the full-time host of After Burner.

It's easy to get confused because flames nation is primary Barn Burner. They could add an entire new show for Saturday and Sunday. Or even weekday shows

Two related/unrelated thoughts:

1) Cami rules.

2) If there's stuff you want to see us do on the YouTube channel, we're always open to ideas.

Cami is fantastic, but is very sportsy. Mix in some nacho talk.

Honestly I agree. I listen a lot on the radio if I'm working and when I hear a goal call on the radio and then watch the goal after, the radio call never does a good job of describing the play and goal.

He seems to use "forehand to backhand to forehand" a lot and it really never describes the goal.

Peter Maher was amazing at describing goals as they transpire. I feel like listening to the radio now Wills just makes up plays to fit whatever he wants and not what is actually happening.

He does a really really poor job at describing what is going on.

Here at the studio! No there will be zero Red Wings talk. Might talk about the Sabres' crazy run though ... plus a bit of Wranglers, a bit of Flames, a bit of everything else. Can't wait.
