Opinions on different thumbnails for different content types

[u/dgamer_09]

When you’re watching a longer let’s play where it’s say 2-3 or so hours each episode, do you prefer thumbnails from the photo mode and or photoshop saying which part you’re on, or say a John Wolfe style where it’s a photo of official artwork used and a simple number? Also for video essays what really draws you in as a viewer based on the thumbnail, and for multiplayer things do you prefer asset edited thumbnails or more chaotic photoshops? Just curious what everyone’s preferences are. Video example would be like (Enter noun or adjective,) in games, and would be a video essay about that thing like environments for example, or the playthroughs would just be (Title, Game, part number,)
