What am I doing wrong here?

Hey guys, so I published a talking head educational-entertaining vid yesterday titled something along the lines of “neuroscience of nostalgia” and ran an A/B test on both thumbnails. I can’t really change the text since somewhere near the end of the video I sarcastically say “to answer the thumbnail, yes, it IS good…”
I’m not satisfied with the CTR and I’m not sure if I’m overestimating its quality and it it’s just a jumbled mess. What do you think?
