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.

This will help clean up some of the clickbait trash YouTube is overrun with. I'm glad they're trying it.

It’s randomly generated! It’s not going to help anything

It's a randomly generated thumbnail based on what's in the video, right? Isn't that the exact opposite of clickbait?
