🚨ATTENTION THUMBNAIL STRATEGISTS🚨 I used to be exactly where you are. A designer, worried AI would replace me. So I moved into strategy. It's not hard. It's just never taught. That's why @TNAcademyPlus and I built Fall Camp. Oct 5, 6 AM UTC. 4 days left. Reply "Fall" to get your seat.

it's honestly embarrassing that Chrome accidentally became the best PDF viewer while Adobe spent decades making Acrobat slower and more bloated

Clicking “open in app” and then being taken to the App Store instead of the app opening will be my 13th reason

Whoever decided to allow the timeline here to open for 1.5 seconds before automatically refreshing without any user interaction should never again be allowed a job, in any industry, ever

I think this is the best take on AI thumbnails
I been watching Ludwig class all morning. It’s been insane to peep the game and gems from it! 100% the best thing that came out of Streamer University.

Your thumbnail isn’t about the video. It’s about the viewer. The best thumbnails don’t just ‘show’ what’s in the video. They tap into the viewer’s curiosity, problems, or emotions. Ask yourself: - What’s the first thought your viewer has when they see it? - How does it solve their problem? - Why would they care? It’s not about showing off what you made. It’s about showing why they can’t skip it.
