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.

That would work if YouTube’s auto generating thumbnails weren’t shit. It could be a weird in between frame, something out of context, a spoiler, etc.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Or generates something that is completely incoherent. Ex. A fade out screen in the video that's the bad screenshot. And even if a thumbnail is clickbait someone worked on it. And people who might have spent time on their thumbnails get a trash one chosen by Youtube. Limits views.

But what if it auto-generates a spoiler? That's probably the worst kind of clickbait and I've seen such things in my auto-generated thumbnails constantly when I'm on the final few parts of my video game let's plays.
