🚨 BIG YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL UPDATE YouTube is testing Dynamic Thumbnails. You can upload 3 thumbnails for the same video, and YouTube can show different ones to different viewers based on their viewing habits. So instead of asking “Which thumbnail wins?” We might soon be asking “Which thumbnail wins for which viewer?” That’s a pretty big change for thumbnail testing.

Everything will disappear at this rate. Sub counts, likes, now views?

Should YouTube just hide views altogether? Does a video with 250 views turn you away? What about 40 million? These are questions we're asking ourselves this week as we head towards more videos with more views than ever

Biggest mistake you can make as a YouTube creator is skimping on thumbnails. I see it every time I work with someone. "Good enough" does not get you views.

We helped a client create one of her most viewed videos of all time. And the best part? A few weeks later we doubled down, leading to an even bigger win. Here’s @JDstrategy breaking down EXACTLY how he came up with these ideas and why they performed so well👇

Tier-list videos never left. It is still one of the best-performing formats across social media. Why? Tier lists are a proven viral vector. They spark debate and fit almost any topic. If there's anything you're passionate about, the chances are, there's a banger post waiting for you :) Examples: Fitness → rank exercises Real estate → rank areas Finance → rank credit cards

Burnout doesn’t come from working long hours. It comes from working without progress, feedback loops, or clarity.
