(make the post a bit more detailed something like explaining your problem further, your thought process etc. otherwise the bot will deem it low effort and most people wont respond to you)
so, im gonna send you a checklist. because I would say overall yes they are bad.

1 major issue that I used to do alot and have similar results to you was this; I would always put the game title in the thumbnail. but the second I stopped it started performing a lot better; Youe main issue is going to be clarity, clearness, and contrast. They dont stand out because you shoved the game title behind them. And your text is way too small. (compare it to mine, for reference I average between 8-12% ctr across most of my videos the low view ones flopped when i was trying something else thumbnail wise and broke my own rules)
also theres no real attraction in your thumbnail either. nothing drives me to click.
Your tomb raider video has a thumbnail format similar to mine here; but I'd say yours is a lot harder to instantly be like "OKAY BOOM hes playing/comparing the old vs the new"
3-4 words, bold text that takes up a significant screen size. 1 major character focus or two if its needed for comparison style thumbnail.
stop putting it on th ebottom

Just hopping in here, found this fascinating. Your vids and mine dont 100% align but it's close enough that I may need to start experimenting with not putting the name of the game in the thumbs like you did
Tho ive had a bit more of a mixed bag experience. My best video has the game logo in the thumbnail while one of my lesser tier ones didnt so idk lol

Could always be do to exterior factors as well, but generally use title for well, the title of the game.

Truth. Very much learning what works and what dont for my channel rn. Seems like you hit a nice groove

I think the thumbnail is gonna have issues here. The font isn’t great, the actual imagery doesn’t make me want to click it. Just a face isn’t interesting.

It's still just not very visually appealing at all.
also changing a thumbnail 24 hours after its already kinda flopped usually has little to not effect.
especially within a day

typically speaking this is the case. It can randomly get views, but not to the point where its worth ever like going back and overobsessing about your previous results. Move on, make a better packaging next time, one of my core concepts I practice is to work for days even sometimes on my title, thumbnail, core idea of the video, and the hook. if you can get all those down the rest of the video doesnt matter nearly as much
Of course man! you just need more reps!
