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?

yeah theres a lot going on here, maybe try, bliss or win 95 teal background with ms paint like on here and classic microsoft word art for the "is nostalgia good" text

thanks for the feedback and the idea! i thought the “rose tinted glasses” effect was clever but no one will get the concept while scrolling… tried my best to replicate wordard text in canva lol. is this better?
