So why exactly is everyone with an ex-gf site photoshopping the shit out of the thumbs

Like you would do with glamour sites. Who is the genius who started doing this and why is everybody following it.
Amateur teen content photoshopped to levels where even Dean Capture would say that's a bit much.

I have tried both, and the airbrushed ones work much better. Both in terms of CTR and sales.

So probably that's why. It probably makes the girls look more like "perfect teens".

Seriously? Well, sometimes i just don't understand the way surfers think. Most of these tours look totally ridiculous. I would want to see real looking girls and not that photoshopped crap. Really odd.

Do you want to see real girls or what you think real girls should be?

Perhaps they are doing split A/B testing on click through ratios and see that it is higher with PS thumbs and that the subsequent conversions have increased?

Some of those pics look like the girl is made of plastic, what are they using, surface blur or something? It's ridiculous. But yeah, maybe it gets the clicks. Very very close to Uncanny Valley for me, but maybe that's because I do Photoshop?

they make them like dolls, but probably CTR is giving them reason to do it

yeah, it's because it converts. It drives traffic better than untouched thumbs. Surfers probably think it's real.
