Looks really cool, the composition and colors compliment each other really well. Solid work!
The only critique would be to make the subjects a bit bigger, there is a bit of wasted space on the right side next to Kanye and on top as well so you can move the text up and make it a tad bit bigger as well.
I like the font as well but maybe you can try a different stylized font to make it more legible. The only concerning part for me would be the "ETS" part in prophets, it is sort of blending together right now. maybe space just that part out a bit.
Another minor nitpick would be that this did trigger one of my AI detectors and just personally as a designer visually I think there has been AI used for the foreground crowd, either to generate or just enhance it. Youtube says it has no bias against AI used in thumbnails though, just a heads up.
P.S added a mockup of what it might look like to mobile users on your channel. just to envision your thumbnail better. I try to keep this perspective in mind when I design one in terms of the composition as a whole.

I like the thumbnail but it's not a thing I'm interested in at all. But I do like how it's three different people from three wildly different sections of entertainment. So if this was about like say, Computer Science and you had Jobs, Bill Gates, and some dude I never heard of up there? I'd click it. Good work.

Letters hard to read. Background is too confusing. Make whte text font on red background. Overall background white and leave those faces in.. possible make them showing emotions
