Sharing answers to top q's we’re seeing about the thumbnail experiment: – Custom thumbs aren't going away – 99.7% still see the creator's custom thumbnail – A lot of creators use auto-generated thumbnails, this test helps improve them for those using them: https://goo.gl/A7oDmr
Because to be aware of the experiment would directly affect the results. They run tests like these all the time, from fonts to colours. It's in your best interest as a creator as it improves traffic to your channel/videos.

How would it influence the result when it’s chosen randomly who gets to see which thumbnail?

Now you know about the test, are you more or less likely to click on a video which is auto-generated if you are part of the 0.3%? You probably have a preference as a creator to custom thumbnails. Thus affecting the results.
