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.
If it is anything like your current default thumbnail generation algorithm, this is going to be horrible. Please do not do this. Thumbnails let users know who made the video.

I know this is going to be horrible because whenever I upload an overwatch highlight/play of the game video, the auto-generated thumbnails pretty much always are random moment 1, the card with character & player name and random momeeent 2/OW Logo. And its always the first.

Another thing that this new idea you guys are trying out on a trial basis will do is make your various feeds an unidentafiable mess to look at. Thumbnails will look all samey. It would be harder to quickly id at a glance videos you are looking for.
