The Thumbnail on the Left Grabbed My Attention...

[HappyCairek]

Most if these tips took me 4 years to figure out by myself. People watching this video are really lucky as it saves a lot of time. Thanks for making them :)

Great video on thumbnails. I have been changing thumbs on my older vids that are not performing well. Someone on Creator Insider said that it does not mess with the algorithms like changing your meta, , so no harm trying to improve them' Thanks for the great tips.

"Reduce focal distraction." "Bright saturated colors." "Brief text." Yes! Thanks Brian, I listen to you and watch and learn. - Dane

Absolutely great Brian! Thanks so much. The pic on the left called my attention more. 👍

When Brian G asks for my thumbs up, I pause, hit like, and resume!!!

[kevinflynn]

Wow! A LOT of energy and flow in this video! Awesome pacing to keep the viewer engaged! Great stuff, Brian!! 👍✌

[VehicleVirals]

The thumbnail on left pops out more Brian G. You're totally right about having a minimalist designed thumbnail that is catchy enough to build curiosity to the potential viewer. It' worked for me very well lately

[nerdyvoiceactors]

I love watching your videos, not only are they informative, relative and up to date but I love the way you are lit and the lighting used in you office/studio. So pleasing on the eye and your voice is calming, excited and easy to listen too. Great stuff as always =)

Nice one, BG! Titles and thumbnails... So huge.

[chanchangames]

The dark red thumbnail grabbed my attention first

[IleaneSmith]

Brian, you're such a genius! Only you can make "click bait" sound like a GOOD thing 😂 Thank you. #MorningFame #FTW
Oh and btw ➞ LEFT 👍
One last thing - I have that same hoodie 🤓

[DTDGamer]

Another helpful video, found your channel quite recently and been watching a lot of your stuff. Thanks for the help hopefully i can apply this to some of my future thumbnails. Really obvious stuff yet so effective!

[MrArocenaGames]

Left thumbnail definitely.
Though here's a question, how do you clickbait a playthrough video that doesn't have any particular secret or tip? Do you focus on a single moment in the gameplay or should gameplay videos be made so that the commentary in the gameplay has a theme of some sort and then you can reference the theme in the thumbnail?

[drasticg]

awesome video as usual brian and the left saturated thumb stood out for me

[malonecustomdesigns]

Thumbnail on the left for sure! Your new thumnails are

[PaulPeck]
