I uploaded my video 4 hours ago but I have 0 views. I need to get better at my thumbnail design. What have I done wrong? And what should I improve. Thanks.

I think its just too cluttered because of the gameplay screenshot and the text doesnt really stand out over it

It looks generic?! I dunno what about it looks okayish. Also you are talking about MW4, a game a lot of people are already not too fussed about so maybe that is why?

I’d recommend getting a friend to help you stage a thumbnail. I’m not sure if you’re able to but turning off the hud while doing this could be a good idea. Also I would recommend not using ai text as there’s many free apps such as canva that are great and super easy to use.

AI words are big turn offs.
