This is really epic and cool. What a cool experiment. How cool it is that there's a random chance that the thumbnail a creator worked hard on will simply be replaced. Very cool.https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1012185713822126081 …
Hey, @TeamYouTube, you want insight into the auto-generated thumbnails? The only insight you need is that people don't use them.
The auto-generated thumbnails are just random screencaps from the video. It looks unprofessional and unappealing.

Regardless of how good the auto-generated thumbnails could potentiallg look, users will always prefer custom thumbnails as it lets them express what they consider the draw of their video.

Not enough insight for you? Look at the backlash this experiment has garnered before its even a visible problem; people hate the idea. They hate the fact that their custom thumbnails have a percent-chance to be meaningless. Don't do this.
