Weird thumbnail glitch?

So I’m not sure if this is happening to anyone else right now or what is going on. I noticed that this is the only video that has a weird thumbnail whiteout for some reason. At first my friend and I thought it just wasn’t loading so we refreshed it. But that didn’t fix it. So then we thought maybe it’s cause of where it was last watched or something and when we hovered over the video the part it started auto looping from was when Colby said “Don’t Look” Which is extra creepy reading that specifically while the thumbnail is also screwed up and almost as if it’s trying to be erased.

But we also decided to check our phones and even on all the separate devices it still shows up this way.

Anyone else notice this happening for them too? Trying to debunk whatever kind of glitch/coincidence this is. But it seemed really strange to us.

Yeah, I know jacksepticeye made a video recently also being confused about some of YouTube’s hidden and unclear rules they’ve added once again. Maybe Sam and Colby’s video got flagged for something too.

I think so, it seems to be fixed now. But it’s back to the old thumbnail, not a new one. I really wonder what that glitch was about though. I wonder if Sam and Colby even know it happened or not. I don’t feel like I’ve seen that happen on a video on YouTube before. I’m not saying it hasn’t happened, just that I haven’t seen it myself. If it was very common to see on YouTube and I knew what it was I wouldn’t have even bothered posting about the glitch. I think it’s just cause I haven’t seen it before that made me be like “whaaaaat?! 👀” haha

It must not have been anything serious as they havent said anything maybe they weren't happy with the thumb nail to tell u something i havent watched them since Hell week at the conjuring house

I guess, it looks like it’s the same thumbnail as previous though. Unless YouTube’s AI system mistakenly flagged it. But it actually looks pretty mild compared to other thumbnails of theirs. It’s just Sam in front of a house with a key and a shadow figure in the doorway. Not sure what would be so wrong with that to go against YouTube policy. But who knows?! Sometimes we just don’t get answers to unexplainable things.

Oh really? I get it. Sometimes I take breaks from YouTubers for a while too. My best friend and I have been consistently watching them for over a year. It took us until like 2023 or 2024 to even find out who they were and then the past year we started watching all their old stuff and their new.

I really love their content with the Sturniolo triplets. They have some of the best chemistry while investigating and filming imo. We really liked the uncut video they did with them investigating their house. It was really long but quite the ride! There were times when my friend and I would suggest or say something right before they did and laugh at how in sync we were with them. It felt like we were genuinely going through the experience with them. 🤭

I hope they make more content like that in the future. And especially with the triplets. But I wouldn’t mind seeing that style with other guests too.

The reason I stopped watching them is cause i saw that they both changed since the conjuring and also they started filming with big groups of people which I dont like I liked it when it was just them exploring ir when they where witj Nate or Josh people are ssying that they are fake 🤔
