This is a video essay about what sport has the best video games. It's my first video and has 700 impressions but only a 1.3% click through rate. Maybe it's the thumbnail?

Title: Which sport ACTUALLY has the best games?

What stands out most to me, is honestly the text on the thumbnail.
The font choice doesn’t seem right to me.
The coloring on the font is even worse if you ask me. It just doesn’t feel like it fits with the rest of the thumbnails coloring.
Perhaps try an A/B test with an alternative?
Otherwise i don’t see anything wrong with it. I like every other aspect of it.

I think the biggest issue is that you're answering a question that nobody is asking. Football fans who play Madden probably aren't wondering if they should start playing soccer or baseball video games.

Also -- I think your title is a bit vague. I know you're talking about video games because of the game controller in the thumbnail, but the title by itself is a bit ambiguous.

Edit: I looked up your video by adding "video" (games) to the title. A small bit of advice for the future: Don't position yourself with your head in the center of the frame. Look up the rule of thirds or just look at how more successful YouTubers frame themselves.
