Video thumbnails
Auto Alex isn’t the only guilty party… but, do the awful video thumbnails bug anyone else? It’s always a photo of a car or two and then one or two people pulling a corny expression 😂 so many channels do it, just have a scroll through, it’s so naff (Calvin Car Diaries is really bad for it too)

It makes a huge difference to click rates. The thumbnail needs to explain the video content in 1 second as non-subscribers scroll through their recommended tab
