We see a face with an (albeit fake) emotional reaction, our monkey brains say "that must be interesting!"

It's very stupid, but not surprising that those videos get more engagement.

My emotional reaction to those is "this must be shit, they've had to put together this awful Clickhole picture just to try to make people watch it".

I've literally never watched a single one.
