I, for one, am glad someone is brave enough to try these things so that others don’t have to. Thank you for your sacrifice.

YouTubers - especially large channels like this - constantly A/B test with different thumbnails and stick with whatever one drives the most traffic (no pun intended) to the video.

You might not like it, but it’s unfortunately the reality of operating a content creation business on an algorithm-driven platform.

There are plenty of channels I follow that make fantastic videos, but sometimes you have to tolerate the shitty thumbnails because that’s just the reality of the system they’re operating within.

This might be one of the worst, least-descriptive titles I’ve ever seen
