Hello @TeamYouTube , I would like to know, why are not the thumbnails of the videos on my channel? What happens is that all my videos had thumbnails, and now they are no longer seen.pic.twitter.com/10DKNkIopT

We are running a small experiment where 0.3% of viewers will see an auto-generated thumbnail, instead of your custom thumbnail. We are not removing the ability to create your custom thumbnail, but we hope to gain insights on auto-generated thumbnails for the future.
Finding out about stuff like this through Twitter replies is ridiculous YouTube. You are taking away a very important aspect of our creativity. I love making my own thumbnails. Give channels a heads up and an option to opt out.
That or why override our custom ones when there are thousands of people who don't make custom thumbnails
Exactly! Experiment on someone who could use it, not suppress the creativity of people that make their own
No that wouldn't work, if they want to AB test their thumbnails vs custom ones, they can only do that test on people with custom thumbnails... Companies need to test things, and they are only doing it on 0.3% of the users -- the impact will be negligible.
Regardless on how "negligible" it may be, it should still be something you can opt out of. Its censorship no matter what % it is. I'd be furious if this was happening to me.
However negligible, it's still happening to real people
