Dear @TeamYouTube, I spend time making thumbnails for my videos so that they get more views on your stupid platform. Please use them. Auto thumbnails are a bunch of horseshit and actively reduce view counts.pic.twitter.com/z4TNGAFJfn

Adding the thumbnail while the video is still uploading/processing seems to prevent this happening, I've had a pretty high success rate
We've also noticed this. Not sure if correlation, but attaching the thumbnail during upload has never failed for us. That said, no one knows what the Almighty Algorithm is presenting us versus viewers.
All of my thumbnails were replaced by random ones this week during a search. I always upload them while the videos upload/process.
Glad to hear The Algorithm is coming for us all.
@YouTube should seriously LEAVE it's content creators ALONE!
They should make designated accounts where they can test their nonsense, NOT ON THE GENERAL PUBLIC!pic.twitter.com/75yLBMSqYr
