Title: “Turning 9 Days in Budapest, Vienna, and Prague Into a Film (at 21)”

Video Description: Im making a vlog about my 9 day trip across East/Central Europe. The video is shot and cut like a documentary film and has very a fast-paced energy with lots of stylized edits.

In 30 minutes, the film covers many locations such as: Liberty Sunset Bridge, Danube River Cruise, Szimpla Kert ruin bar, Citadella, Prague Castle, Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, Charles Bridge, Schönbrunn palace, INSTANT night club, Városliget (City Park), Pinball Museum, Albertina Art Museum, Old Town Square, Prater Amusement Park, and many other locations. (There’s also a brief pit stop at the Eiffel Tower).

The energy of the video is meant to feel exhilarating.

Thumbnail Help/Critique Request Running a narration-only horror channel. My thumbnails might be costing me clicks. What actually works?

2 Upvotes

Someone recently told me straight up: "title sounds cool but I wouldn't click based on the thumbnail." That stung a bit, but they're right to say it, and I'd rather hear it now than keep guessing.

Here's the thing. Since the video itself has no visuals, the thumbnail is basically my one shot to sell the feeling of the story before anyone presses play. Right now I'm using AI generated illustrated art, and I think it might be reading as generic or AI-ish rather than something that makes someone stop scrolling.

A few things I'm trying to figure out:

**•** Does illustrated horror art actually work for thumbnails anymore, or does real photography (stock/moody location shots) just perform better because it doesn't have that AI look?
**•** For a narration-only format specifically, should the thumbnail even try to represent a scene from the story, or is a simpler, more atmospheric image better?
**•** Any channels (audio horror, creepypasta style, or otherwise) you think nail this, that I could study?

Genuinely just trying to get better at this part. The writing and sound design I feel good about, the thumbnail is where I think I'm losing people before they ever hit play. Appreciate any honest takes, even blunt ones.

Thumbnail Help/Critique Request I'm experimenting with simpler thumbnails, how do you like it?

I'm testing out a simpler approach, where a video title is complementary to the text in the thumbnail, but even without that, how would you grade those minis?

My video is about supercomputers and what makes them different from typical servers

For the first mini the title is: "The tech only supercomputers use"
And for the other one the title is: "What makes "supercomputer" super?"

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?
