 the video is bloody great

But the thumbnail must be bloody greater 

Coz if no one clicks, no one watches. 

You HAVE to play the click bait game on YT. 
 We want to see the thumbnail 
 Soon ser. Appreciated your tips but this video is not necessarily MY experience. Il share some title ideas on youtube creators 
 If the thumbnail looks click bait I won't watch the video. Sure, you reach more people but I argue the quality of the audience drops. 
 Click bait feels like a very "time preferency" thing. Reaching more people now by the cost of a great audience long-term. 
 Liking your work Joe!

You're creating my Bitcoin travel bucket list for me 😂  
 That’s the goal! 
 One yt channel I appreciate is "daily dose of internet".

Their thumbnail is clickbait, but the first clip they show is the thumbnail clip and then they continue.

I've observed myself clicking on videos looking for the clickbait and even skipping through to find it and if I can't find it, I close the video and move on.

With dailydose, I satisfy my curiosity immediately and before I realise, I watched the whole thing.

I know you don't do clip videos, but maybe there's something useful there. 
 That’s cool thanksnn
