Hi all! Would love some feedback on this video as when I posted I was quite proud of it, but hasn't performed anywhere near as expected. Here's the retention graph too (although it is a v small sample size - about 110 views)

I know, but also it’s about what it’s covering up at that point in the video and I didn’t want it to cover stuff up. It also signals to people that the end of the video is now and can lead to a drop off at the end. That’s my opinion at least

So the CTR isn't awful, but it isn't great. I wonder if you shifted everything to the right more (so you are against the right side of the thumbnail), and showed more of the void beyond the road, then maybe added an arrow pointing down and note the height (i.e. 600ft.), if that might increase the CTR?
Basically, make it look more dangerous.

Although could possibly try and revisit to turn it into a short of sorts!

Changed the thumbnail to this where I've moved myself further over and added in the text, but my photoshop skills aren't great so don't feel like I optimised the arrow as much as I could have

This is already better in my opinion Connor. I'd suggest making "600 Feet" much larger – you've got plenty of space and you can abbreviate to 600ft.
