Saturation that doesn't hurt the eyes
Color combo that doesn't hurt the eyes
And paying more attention to contrast in a thumbnail than bumping up the saturation is probably the solution (I don't think saturation itself is the problem)

Depends on the channel's niche. For your channel, low saturated thumbnails work but that can't be said about all the channels.

[SmudgySmudge]

I thought this was gonna be dumb, but it had solid points. Good job brother! 👍

For the first example i dont think its a saturation problem. Is simply the time required to understand the thumbnail. The one with saturation, you need at least 5 seconds to understand what is about. The other one you instantly see a human, a board, and a title formula written so you need 1-2 seconds to understand the concept.

hey I absolutely in love with your channel! could you please make a video on how to go about podcasts thumbnail design?

[AdamAsta_]

0:41 you went with a completely different thumbnail concept, a real A-B test to prove this would be having an exact similaire concept with one being more layed down and one high saturated

[Tyronlol]

I mean this example is not correct imo, the black font over the white background is way easier to read compared to the white font over the blue background. It doesn't seem to be about saturation. It feels that better contrasting colors are making the difference here. A good ab test for saturation would be the same thumbnail with different saturation levels

[edoardo.zangirolami]

This isn't an actual AB test of the SAME thumbnail at different saturation levels though.

You changed so many factors which could all have a big impact on the final result.

For a more truthful test, you should compare the same thumbnail composition & text at different saturation points.

I don't know about this video, saturation has really helped my channel a lot.

[iamsomeon]

Please make a video on self improvement niche ❤

in this comment I'm going to prove that having louder music is not a good move for a video 😭 jk man, keep up the great content

[imjakedeason]

the way i would rather click on the leads thumbnail than on the click baity one

[tocov]

Your thumbnail knowledge is amazing but your sound mixing game is terrible my man lol. I could barely hear you with the music on.
Tell me if you need some tips in that area (I'm a sound engineer).

[ZooDinghy]

To be honest, your original thumbnails just look... crappy. Who uses dark blue + a mean looking guy as a background? It looks terrible!
If you want to compare saturation in A/B tests, you need to compare the same thumbnail with different saturation/contrast levels.
