    I think youtube has a feature to let you choose multiple thumbnails for one video and “test” which one gets more clicks.

    For the ones that don’t speak German, it says “you are not alone” (not German myself, but Dutch lmao)

  3. Kinda offtop but it’s not a horror game, it’s a survival sandbox with elements of horror. It also has many other elements of other genres, it’s not JUST a horror

  4. Hope minecraft doesn’t turn horror. I like day to day life in the overworld, punctuated by periods of exploration and treasure hunting. Fighting is just a byproduct of me trying to live a peaceful existence.

  5. The second, it leaves a lot of uncertainty and it also leaves you questioning whether that is herobrine or not

  6. I would say the first one, might need to zoom on on herobrine or test around since thumbnails are usually small on youtube

    Maybe one in ENGLISH.

    Also, I’m getting clickbait vibes from the way that’s worded

    3rd one. It gives off the same energy of going into a cave pre 1.17 and the cave leads to a big underground ravine, those were always so spooky and cool looking down them as a kid

    You are not alone sounds better than Are you really alone in english. so i would pick the first one.

    Im glad after 3 years of high school and 20 years later, my German finally got some use in the wild.

    Hey man,

    I work in advertising. While the 1st and 2nd one look more interesting and prettier, the most important is to immediately catch the attention of the person scrolling. You want to avoid people scrolling further because the thumbnail does not stand out enough.

    Right now, the 3rd one is the strongest because you notice the bright creepy eyes right away.

    I suggest the following:
    – Choose the first thumbnail, but make the eyes stand out like in the 3rd one
    – Add a call to action within the thumbnail, could be a small red rectangle with a max 3 word message (in German) like: Watch now, Horrifying stuff, Find out more. This will make people more eager to click on the video.

    Good luck with your channel man!
