Can you at least ask if people want to participate in things like this?https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1012160856690450432 …

Why don’t they do experiments that are opt in and offer a free month of YouTube premium, or something like that, for those that willingly participate. That way you get people involved who want to be, and still get to test potentially controversial changes

Replying to @JamesTurnerYT @TeamYouTube
What I want to know is how they are getting feedback from random users, because I personally never answer surveys so...

I would guess it’s about views, to see if custom thumbnails make a difference in whether people watch the videos or not

Well if that's what they want to know then yes, the thumbnail plays a huge roll in what I watch. When I have very limited time and can't watch everything I want to right away thumbnails and titles are how I choose what to watch first.

The issue appears to be it’s effecting specific users across all videos rather than removing the thumbnail on random videos for everyone across the board

Yes, but it is not voluntary. It's irritating that there is a chance that a huge part of I choose what to watch could be taken away and I would have no control over it.
