I’d like to introduce you to Thumbnail Academy, the only platform built to help creators design thumbnails that actually get clicks and views Enrollment is open right now I’ve partnered with @DillToma and @Antxoch Together we’ve spent over a decade designing thumbnails for some of the biggest YouTubers on the planet Across billions of views, we’ve learned exactly what makes people click Now we’ve turned everything we know into a system that any creator can use to master thumbnails Until now, creators paid $500+ for a single thumbnail or a one-hour consult We wanted to build something better. Something that helps creators grow from every angle: • Interactive lessons, templates, AI tools, and weekly live coaching calls • Learn how to craft ideas that spark curiosity and pull people in • Master thumbnail psychology and design faster with AI • Understand exactly what drives clicks and how to do it again and again • No fluff. Just the systems behind billions of views. But Thumbnail Academy isn’t just a course It’s also a community built where you’ll connect with other creators, share wins, post your work for feedback, and grow together Inside, you’ll find spaces for learning, inspiration, and collaboration, and for the Pro Tier: live weekly calls where we workshop thumbnails, share AI tools, and help you level up in real time This is the complete blueprint we use every day for the world’s top creators Every lesson, every example, every bit of feedback is built to help you create scroll-stopping thumbnails that actually grow your channel Enrollment closes this Friday After that, the Founders Price is gone for good, and we’ll shift focus to helping the first wave of creators inside If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your video didn’t get the clicks it deserved, this is your chance to fix that for good Join Thumbnail Academy today Your thumbnails, and your channel, will never be the same With love, David (link to Thumbnail Academy on next post!!!)

Back when AI was just generative fill.

I’ve had twitter deleted on my phone and blocked on my computer for the last three months. I think getting rid of the addictive doom scroll was good for me. I’m gonna try to reintroduce it back into my life because I want to start posting again. Most of my social media usage has been with Grok @bot and it really changed everything for me. I really don’t need the apps at all anymore. How have you found peace balancing social media with real life? Is it even possible?

Like listening to podcasts but hate the ads? Want to add custom chapters to shows that don’t take time to do it? Check out my @bot Tape Bot: x.ai/bot/l4oe6CObIVQLANlBxZE…

Who’s going to @vidsummit next week!?

Pro tip if you're in the market for a mac and saw the recent announcements: Wait for the M7...

Had to say goodbye to my cat Leo yesterday. He was the only pet my boys have ever known. My oldest sons chose to stay with me when it was time, and the three of us held him, cried together, and said goodbye. Leo slept at my feet almost every night. Last night was the first night he wasn’t there, and that empty space hit me harder than I expected. He was a really good cat and a huge part of our family. We’ll miss you, Leo. ❤️

I used to be a full time YouTuber and video maker. Then a friend needed a thumbnail. I didn’t have any professional graphic design experience and only knew the basics of Photoshop Then it became my full time job. Over the last few years now I’ve been blessed to work with some of YouTube’s greatest creators and brands and have learned so much. Thumbnail Academy teaches everything I’ve learned and more. Taught by myself @antxoch and @dilltoma. Between the three of us over 10 billion views of experience. Get on the waitlist now at thumbnailacademy.com

I love Grok Bot

Jesus loves you!
