Thumbnail Feedback Wanted!
Patrons! We're always looking to improve our content where we can, and right now we're experimenting with different YouTube thumbnail variations. We'd love to know,
'If you were scrolling/searching YouTube looking for a reaction to your favourite show/movie, which style of thumbnail would you be more likely to click on?'
Note: Obviously if you don't watch Archer, imagine it's a show you do watch 😁
Comment with your reasonings for your selection too!

I voted image one I was on the fence, but when I saw everyone also voted for image one I definitely had to be the rebel and vote for image two lol
I feel that the first grabs my eye a lot more than the second, partially because of the bright background but also the size of the shows title. I will point out that the red background does make the image less readable, in relation to Dean and his jumper.
Thats a fair point. Probably shouldn't have gone red and red 😂
The bottom one looks like you guys are spooning while watching
Is this something you can test in youtube and see which performs better?
Yes we we've been doing that as well 👍🏼
In this specific case, image 1 is going to be more noticeable based on the bright red background alone. And if the thumbnail doesn’t include a recognizable main character I think the show title is needed.
As a regular (reaction) viewer, I'd prefer the 1st style. I wouldn't need to be drawn into the show and would prefer to know which episode it is and who's reacting. The 2nd image may be better though for new viewers or people who don't regularly watch reactions.
Ive heard that the bigger the boobage, the more clicks you get. Just ginormous racks all the way. Given that knorks are round, you could just fill the entire 16:9 format with tits and have a little spare space in each corner for your heads.
