My YouTube thumbnail facelift

Since most of my YouTube videos had been getting lost in the TV Test Card artwork, I had chose one of my regular video upload with already 239 views and 19 likes to be the first to have a Thumbnail facelift. You can just see the original on the top left of the thumbnail and see how "Autism & Manipulation" title gets lost in the artwork. All I did was put on my trademark clothes and photoshopped myself as a puppet to represent MANIPULATION.

If this is a success, I will give most of my regular top viewing uploads a thumbnail facelift, I won't be doing this to all of it since I have too many uploads. The ones that I find that I don't like are less likely to have a thumbnail facelift.
 
Here's a before and after from one of my YouTube videos.

This is what is was BEFORE I gave this thumbnail for that YouTube video content a facelift. The title and the meaning of this video just gets lost in the Test Pattern maybe causing this to have a low view count and get above everyone's head.


Here's the AFTER, I still kept the test card on the top left corner as a trademark, at the bottom left is the title of the video, the number of the episode and my name still in it's fancy writing. On the right I had added a bit of a posse that way clickbaiters, viewers etc. would see who the YouTube content creator is. Since I love my tracksuits, I thought I'll show off most of my tracksuit, since it's about THE UNEXPECTED, decided to create the Munches Scream in the thumbnail.
 

I've done some more work with my recent videos, what you think? At least the title of the video is no longer getting lost in the test screens as it had been for almost 6 years.
