Totally, totally. I would say stuff like that is definitely on the fringe, like people complaining about that kind of thing. Because at least generally, like for one, if someone has seen a video, sometimes people have this concern, but if someone has seen a video and watched a video, they're not going to get recommended again just because the thumbnail is different. So it's one thing.

And then also usually YouTube A-B testing will select one thumbnail and show that to a user and then not change it for the same user as much as people think they do. But it can definitely happen. So it's interesting that you got that comment.

The very fundamental thing or platform you can use or tool you can use. Um, if you just want to make something that's like decent, um, If you want to make something good, like Photoshop is what I use and what I've always used for my thumbnails. And I think you can get to a point where you can make good thumbnails in maybe five or six hours of Photoshop learning. So like a Sunday.

Because, and this is a point I have later actually, which is that The correlation between being really good at graphic design and really good at thumbnails is actually pretty weak. I've tried to work with some of the best graphic designers in the world and I've not been successful with making them great at thumbnails. I find some random kid on Twitter who's like,

just looking at thumbnails all day and making thumbnails. He might not have actually have very good Photoshop skills. And if I showed the PSD file that he used in Photoshop and sent to a graphic designer, they would say, this is a war crime, but he is able to make the thumbnails that people click on. Cause he understands the psychology of a thumbnail more than just the execution.

So I'd say Canvas is fine. Learn some basic Photoshop. Um, people always ask about like AI thumbnail tools. Um, I find that AI can be good for like the base of the image you use, but you still have to bring it into Canva or Photoshop to like get it there. But using AI and thumbnails is not against YouTube's terms, contrary to popular belief.
