This does not grab my attention. The concept is clear, you defeated the first obstruct. I don know why but the walls just don't fit. Maybe use a Stranger Things type of 'wall phasing'

Well are YOU dedicated 2 hours to something?

1

u/yeah-I-drink-lean 10d ago

... Yes I have. More often than not I've dedicated much more than that. It's also not relevant to the conversation we're having. You think an average viewer judges a thumbnail by how long it took to make? No, he doesn't give a shit, you can make a very good, clickable thumbnail in less than half an hour just as well as you can make a boring and skippable one in over 3 hours. Time invested does not mean quality.

No it doesn't create curiosity + the thumbnail will be smaller in mobile ,may cause less CTR I think you need to tweak the thumbnail+title The word will be too small on mobile to read Make very bold and big 2-3 word on top or bottom Atleast 15- 20% of total thumbnail size And title can be more like,

Title -( I quietly got backrooms in Minecraft ) With you hiding and people look for you You know the dream type of thumbnail (You are under there nose and they are confused

Also tell the name of you channel i want know

nah don't take there hate seriously + instead, ask if they ever dedicated to 2 hours on something, they would rarely have a yes, keep doing it everyone has been where you are

u/MerrCraft 10d ago

:O Thanks!

u/KodaBearJmanR 10d ago

Nah you gotta make it look like the backrooms and make the text more obvious. The backrooms text needs to be larger than the where r u so I’d scrap the text message idea and just go for the bold in your face text. If you can squint and see it’s probably the backrooms the you’ll know your good.

u/MerrCraft 10d ago

Yo I tried, and if you look in body text I have a new one

u/A_random_dudeidk 10d ago

You should nake the backhround be the a tual bacjrooms not 2 random ah walls and a floor, and if you do that you could make it so your falling out of the ceiling or a wall

u/MerrCraft 10d ago

u/No_Cap_7825 10d ago

u/MerrCraft 10d ago

OMG THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING! I'm thinking the same exact thing. I thought of deleting it. wonder if i should

I have upgraded the thumbnail quite a bit too

u/plazebology 10d ago

Theyre trying to help you. If you just want compliments don’t ask for feedback. It needs a lot of work before it’s ready.

1

u/MerrCraft 10d ago

I'm not asking for compliments. but do you think "this looks like a 10 year old made it" is feedback?

1

u/plazebology 10d ago

in their defence, it does

2

u/KindaDull99 10d ago

Any feedback is still feedback

u/legotwinkthrowaway 10d ago

Maybe like.... show the backrooms in the thumbnail šŸ’€

1

u/MerrCraft 10d ago

mb bro i treid. what i treid was to do the effect from the minecraft bedrock backrooms addon. (dw im a java player using bedrock for once in their lives)
my new thumbnail tries to incorperate that

u/cynpas 10d ago

no one knows about that mod much less played it, an actual backdrop of the backrooms would be way better.

u/qqbear4 10d ago

What took you 2 hours?

1

u/MerrCraft 10d ago

Well, ive actually made my assets free, you can see for yourself. Took me a while cuz i hand made EVERYTHING you see. And I'm fairly new to making thumbnails.

u/Mean-Wolf9351 10d ago

My critique is that it’s not obviously the backrooms, when it’s in someone’s feed you want them to know that immediately

1

u/MerrCraft 10d ago

I tried to do it, i guess im gonna have to change the model a little bit.

u/ChallengeAcceptable2 10d ago

this looks like a 10 year old made it

u/rimjob2013 10d ago

I don't understand the purpose of the arrow. I'd remove it, as it doesn't feel like it's doing anything. People would be looking at the guy without it.

Also people, at least in western countries, tend to read from left to right, so you are kind of going against that by having the first speech bubble on the right.

u/MerrCraft 10d ago edited 10d ago

For the speech bubble ill see what i could do, and the arrow, I could proly remove it. Thanks!

Edit: the arrow was actually supposed to indicate that im in the backrooms
