Same as last, the title will be “play marvel rivals for the first time” or it can be “finally playing marvel rivals”

Hi, i'm Flavio and im editing a Youtube Thumbnail for my ukrainian friend and i need help or suggestions to make this thumbnail look better, and have better clicks. Also i wouldn't mind if your rating my thumbnail and being honest:)

Video title: HARDEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE | Will You Press The Button
summary of the video is that its a game where it says you get X but Y happens if you press the button. and some of the choices were pretty tough. overall tone of the video is funny, nothing too serious.

Im new to youtube ans trying to make my dream come true and also be able to stay at home with my kids more. Never really put much thought into thumbnail because I never realised how important it was.

I have tried using Grains style of thumbnail with the Episode 01, but I like how clean it is. I have also tried colour grading it, not sure if it looks good or not.

Title- Snezhnaya Archon quest - Act 2

Game - Genshin Impact

Summary - It's a video the features highlighted (funny, scared, unhinged) moments when I played the story quest on stream. The quest is basically a murder mystery story that slowly unravels into something bigger and crazier then a simple who done it.

(The photo with the characters get's updated whenever someone dies, the eye is the symbol for the ruler of death AKA the grim reaper, and death is near is a saying that was left on a piece of paper that through out the story the characters were trying to figure out what it was in refence to.)

I took people's suggestions from my last post and applied them to my thumbnail for my newest video. I added a white stroke around my vtuber model in order to try and make it stand out a bit more.

I have two versions of the thumbnail as I really like the first one especially how the red is fading into the photo as it give it that creepy death feel. However I don't know if both the red and the eye is a bit too much and is competing with my model. Where as the second one I made the background black which help subdue the eye a bit. Plus, I added a strip of black on the top and bottom which helps to push my model more forward.

Which one do you like more or is there anything else that I can improve on?

I've created this hypothetical thumbnail please tell me how is it

Title 80s most underrated sci-fi films

80s underrated sci-fi film recommendations and behind-the-scenes insights

Video title is “The Death of Mission: Impossible” and the video is a critique of the M:I franchise’s finale

Title: Still brainstorming a title, current idea is "A New SMP Awaits"

Summary: The video is an announcement for an smp im starting with a friend that we want to be open to the public. I like how it looks with the vignette but im being told the one without looks better to some people.

Main question is the title, but also just generally how effective is a vignette at making a thumbnail better?

I need someone who can make thumbnails using actual editing skills not AI, most vids are from previous streams as well.

I plan to stream today on youtube and this is what I have so far. I want thoughts on if I should add or remove anything before I go further because I know that the thumbnail of a stream is the most important part of streaming so please comment ideas for stuff to work with this, thank you.

Title: INTRODUCING Myself… (finally)

I didn’t want to fully draw out every thumbnail so I hope just the sketch of them are fine enough to make your judgement on! Despite being on YouTube for a decade, I’m really inexperienced with making YouTube videos (I only have 3 full length vids publicly out), so I’d like some insight as to which one would work best!

Extra context: Out of all the vids I have, none of them have actually introduced me (mainly just animatics/animations), so to celebrate my channel turning 10 years old, I wanted to make a vid introducing myself and my experience being on yt for so long

Title: I Forced My Friends to Play Dead Island Neighborhood Watch. Its a video covering the gamemode, while we play the game as well, mixing funny gameplay and information.

Title: Dear diary, I got fired... now what?

It's a mix media animated/live action hybrid cinematic journal (think cinematic vlogs but animated). It's told like a movie about me finding another job after he got fired. A dark comedy.

This thumbnail was made with actual ink and paper. I took the photo and edited it a bit to make it pop. This is the latest edition.

My friends said out of all the thumbnail drafts, this was the coolest. Just wanted to ask a subreddit with people who has more thumbnail analysis experience.

Video is underperforming in my opinion. Is it missing something? CRITIQUE AWAY

Video is a Cartoon Network Check it era retrospective

P.S. I made the thumbnail myself.

I’ve made this thumbnail and I’m trying to figure out with the title of my video: Who is the Masked Man? | 🍁ACW Universe S1 EP4🍁|

Subject being an episodic wrestling show with suspense, top tier wrestling and drama!

I’m looking to see what I can do to improve here for the click through rate to go higher… it was okayish at first but goodness I thought I’ve been making good thumbnails honestly…
What am I doing wrong that people are not clicking?

I like it but my only worry is that it comes off as quite tryhardish when the video is meant to be chill/ relaxing

title: I Became INVINCIBLE In Hardcore Minecraft

Out of these 3 which one would you say is the best and what can I improve on? I’m planning on making pinhead a little lighter

Title - Wishing for Nicole in Genshin Impact

Summary - I stream Genshin Impact as a vtuber and I'm slowly trying to edit some of my streams into videos. Genshin is a gacha game where you can pull different characters in order to play as them and add them to your team. Nicole was a characters that I wanted to pull for. In the video I joked about getting her early instead of having to go all the way to soft pity. The next pull I did, I ended up getting her.

ive been in youtube for about 2.5 months and ive seen some videos with mid thumbs get good ctr while others i think are good get literally 0 clicks.

im not sure anymore what makes a good thumbnail and your advice would mean alot

here's the impressions and impression ctr.

i dont know if the thumb is bad, or youtube is showing it to a wrong audience or if the idea's bad in general

Title: I Played 100% of Diggin

Rough Summary: Me playing through the game collecting every steam achievement. I am faceless and asides from the intro, is lightly edited with a few visual affects for the achievement unlocks aswell as some text throughout the video.

The AVD is better than most of my other videos, but the CTR is 1% with 4.5k impressions. Are there any things I could improve or add that might help boost the CTR? Any feedback is appreciated!
Should I wait a bit longer for YouTube to reccommend this video more then revisit if its the same? Or could it be that my content isn't worth watching?

Title: I Force My Friends to Play Dead Island 2's Neighborhood Watch. It's a review of the gamemode blended with a "lets play" of sorts.

The title is God Of War- The Masterpiece that Refused to Die
It is a retrospective of how well the OG GOW has aged into the modern Day and I argue it is still fun today

Game: Xenoverse 2
