I am curious.
I mean you hear a lot of streamers on YouTube mention that thumbnail design and creation takes up most of their time.

Yet, is it really something that should even be prioritized?

Because if it is not a deal breaker, then why even put effort into it?

Thumbnail and title is all about grabbing peoples attention and blablabla algorithm
Tokyo ghoul just wanted to game and started long ago when nobody cared about thumbnails

It does take a good amount of time to make a thumbnail, but it's something you only use once so I keep it simple on purpose and just use paint.
If you look at the Holo streamers they just use fan art from their art tag and put the game title on it or something similiar.
I like doing longplays so I'll keep the game title clear most of the time so you can find the game on a quick glance through my YouTube vids and then on the bottom I just make something silly I'll enjoy.
The video I have the most views on just has a picture of my cat and the game title while the vid with the most likes is a shitpost thumbnail.
I don't think there is a rhyme or reason to it personally.

this thing he does makes his streams instantly recognizable in when looking at a feed, another consistent thumbnail that I've noticed recently are Aki's splatoon streams

She usually has themes for her thumbnails. My favorites are probably her Death Stranding series.

that only works for Kuzuha because he's already a big vtuber
for most indies and small corpos the thumbnail is very important

I love the stream where he has to look at the thumbnails without the titles and guess what the stream was about
