    The day I take financial advice from a YouTube video with a fucking stupid thumbnail is the day I start investing in chocolate teapots

      You literally didn’t even understand what the video was about. Just made a knee jerk reaction.

      I too don’t really like these kind of thumbnails, but sadly those are the kind that get more clicks. Clicks is what pays and people getting paid will lead to more content for us all.

      It’s not investment advice, it’s just a nice succinct video detailing that how the new free IRS system for filing taxes will finally completely replace the racket that is TurboTax and H&R Block, saving tax filers a lot of money.

      I’m gonna put a bad thumbnail over a video that tells you it’s a good idea to breathe.
