Todd’s tweet
YouTube has no plans to remove thumbnails.
With that said, auto-previews are used by many viewers to decide what to watch, and many videos have high abandonment in the first few seconds.
Putting effort into a compelling video intro (that your video delivers on) is smart.— Todd B. (@hitsman) December 18, 2022
The second tweet I’m not linking to for the sake of their privacy since I’m talking against their tweet…don’t want drama…lol.
