The State of YouTube Thumbnails 2024: What's Working Now

Thank you so much for this video! I have been searching for this type of content for so long, and you cannot imagine how helpful it has been to me. It must have been time-consuming to analyze all this data, but you rocked it!

I booped

I thought you would give insight on what actually did best, like having a column of how that video did vs the channel average in terms of views, a correlation index. This was interesting but I wonder if it could have been more applicable.

Interesting data. Well done!!

I'm having a hard time with my thumbnails and to be honest I believe it could be a big reason why some of my videos don't do very good. Lately I've been going over all my older videos and attempting to change the thumbnails but I've been having little success. honestly I'm getting to the point of looking for a channel audit or paying someone to make my thumbnails, albeit I'm not sure I can afford the latter.

Did you apply “how to win…” thumbnail concept on this videos thumbnail? It looks sleek and pleasing.

Nate is there a way to get a review from you ? I would actually be glad to share my analytics. So yeah I don't know how valuable my small channel is but I would love to know where I am at

Very useful video. Thanks Nate.

Watching brought tears to my eyes, I just admire you, god bless you 🙏🏼

So I do reactions to K-pop, and I understand where you're coming from when it comes to uploading thumbnails with facial expressions that involve excitement and surprise for more views. However, within my niche viewers actually prefer you to be more genuine rather than having a fake reaction. And that's how I'm starting to think nowadays. Regardless of how many views my video gets, I don't want to appear like I'm faking what I do, because I see that as a sign of clickbait. If I react to a music video, and the video doesn't really make me excited or jump for joy, then I'm not going to post an expression like that and make my viewers believe that, that is the reaction they will receive, when really they won't.

This is incredible!

Dam he wasn't playing 😅 you really did your research. Thanks for the video!

ping me if you want to have access to my analytics ... in case you want to create a video about "all terrible mistakes you can make to be unsuccessful" 😅 .. BTW - I'm serious about sharing my analytics with you, no problem
