No offense guys, but you’re testing a feature that nobody with a brain would want. Who wants better auto generated thumbnails over custom ones...

I know it seems irrational. But you'll be surprised at the number of smaller/newwr creators who end up using auto generated thumbnails. Some don't have the time, nor resources to create custom thumbnails. If the system can make it easier for those creators, then that's good.

No one denies that. BUT if they do use custom thumbnails thumbnails YouTube should have never removed them for auto generated ones with out first letting people opt in or out of the test.

Oh yeah. That's a problem. Communicating this upfront would have made it tons better for everyone.
