Just in case you were wondering how bloody stupid and ugly it looks if you one of the unlucky few that YouTube subjects to an experiment that it didn't seek anybody's permission for.
Yeah, @TeamYouTube, I think it's a lot worse. Could you stop now? https://twitter.com/Rhetamm/status/1012439801860182017 …

So what is going on with this? Is it just not showing uploaded thumbnails?

YouTube is doing a "small experiment" where 0.3% (I think) of viewers don't see the creators custom thumbnail, but instead sees a YouTube auto generated one. This is to try and improve their thumbnail generating algorithm but they didn't ask for permission, didn't offer an opt in

Replying to @CMorris1243 @TheArchitectJC and
Service and didn't tell anyone until it was brought up. They should have told people before hand and instead of automatically doing it, should have asked viewers to opt in for it to randomly show auto generated thumbnails *BUT* you should have an icon to know it is auto generated

And be able to look at the custom thumbnail if you want to. @YouTube @TeamYouTube Here you go, fix it now.
