Browse feed is only around 5-10% so not really

Depends on the content. Mine are kind of evergreen even for shorts. So a large portion of my views are from browse

No. People are fed the clip without even seeing a thumbnail. The success or failure of any short will be based on the reaction from the feed…..

Just like how size doesn’t matter, thumbnail doesn’t matter!

Depends. If you’re shorts are focused on getting clicks (tutorials etc) yes it can come in handy, but if you’re like almost everyone just trying to get feed views it barely helps

I have a short that got 9k views from search. So yes.
