first one, because I want to read the sign, and also I am intrigued

I don’t like any of them. But the first one nobody can read while just swiping around. The second one looks too much like, „i gonna talk all day now and you gonna watch!“ So i would not click it either. The third one looks mysterious enough so i am intrigued to click on it.

the first one is mysterious though, what is on the sign?

Nah, if people scroll, they don’t even notice there is a sign. If you want maximum viewership, you see option 2 and 3 are working for big creators.

thank you for sharing your thoughts. ☺️ much appreciated 👌

the sign says "this is making you dimb" on paper. But I think the pixel has been compressed when I uploaded it on nostr and also probably bcoz of the bright light on white paper. And thank you for letting me know ☺️👌

Make it you, with the "thing" blacked out in your hand, with the background color to match the mood

ty for the reaponses. Could you elaborate which of the thumbnail you're referring? What change you meant? ☺️

I was referring to a totally different design. Emphasize the "thing" with you as an element and not the centerpiece. The bottom two are opposite of this concept. The thing is the focal point.. Not you. Then use the least amount of text you can to build wonder and point to the thing. Your face is only in the thumbnail to build consistency across all of your thumbnails and the emotion should match the context.

Oh I see. Now I am following you. thank you for thoroughly explaining it. I am testing the thumbnail tonight to the centralised platform too. If I do not get any good result will recreate different and will have this in mind when I do. ☺️
