        If someone cares about their view count then you shouldn’t give their content your time of day

        That’s the way that yields the longest combined watch time from the audience.

        Do they go back and change thumbnails after a while? LTT does focus on a lot of evergreen content as well.

            YouTube gives a b testing for YouTubers based on watch time, so they can tune their thumbnails to the one that gets the most watch time. The audience doesn’t always know the history of the chanel, they need to go off the thumbnail.

      You have to understand shit like these thumbsnails arent made for people like you and me.

      They are made for the mindless horde of sub-intellectual gremlins who are incapable of rational, independent thought. The kind that run out and put sandpaper on their windshield wipers and microwave their phones to “fast recharge” them because they saw a video that said to do that.
