My video style is that of a stick figure on a blank white background, hence the white background in the 2nd thumb

I feel like instead of having boxes with question marks, you should put pictures of the people you tier listed and add a blur because otherwise it kind of doesn't add anything

i feel like a heavy blur and boxes with question marks have the same exact effect

#

besides that part, which of the two do you like better?

echo ore
#

I'd say the right one

#

the left one looks kinda awkward with the pictures just overlayed like that haphazardly

#

i changed it to the second a day and a half ago

#

and my ctr has gone down

#

could be that youtube is simply pushing it out to a more uninterested audience

#

but i changed it back to the first one to see if the ctr goes up

#

how many views does the video have

7k atm

I'd take your analytics with a grain of salt if you have a low sample size

misty niche
#

7k views and 95k impressions

#

right now

#

not that small

#

of a sample size

echo ore
misty niche
#

6% with the first

#

4% with the second

#

hmm I see

misty niche
#

yea a pretty noticeable drop

#

i figure it might be the audience its getting pushed to now is more broad

#

since i also liked the 2nd thumbnail better

echo ore
#

idk, I personally don't think youtube's A/B testing is the end all be all
I still feel like the right thumbnail has a better overall concept, but would perform better if you changed the question marks to be pictures of those people on the left because it might be the case that the higher CTR comes from more of those recognizable figures
