If you need humans to review these experiments to make sure they're not abusive, you could charge creators for the ability to perform them. A $10 or $20 fee for the application process seems reasonable to me! This presumably would also limit demand.

Would that mean to different comment sections too? And how would YT monitor such a system for abuse, like differing conclusions meaning people who share or like accidentally endorse something they don't like?

I thought about these issues and I feel like this would be the biggest hurdle. I think just one comment section, and perhaps set a difference threshold that you cannot exceed. Or, limit its use and make it an application process with manual review.

AB testing! There's some neat stuff about this various places online.

See, they do experiments on the back-end all the time (which I think they should--this whole thumbnail outrage is wildly overblown) but I think it would be FREAKING NEAT if we could run some ourselves.

This would be really fantastic in some markets. When I worked at a record label we'd AB test two newsletters for 15-30m and then switch to the winner after that.

Doing something similar to find what material interest people more or causes more comments or maybe more shares within like a 1hour window would be sweet.

You're doing great. Give your best shot per video. Can't see Da Vinci painting two slightly different Mona Lisa.
