Netflix has already applied the vast amount of data to the creative process, and I think the results aren't great. Mr. Beast has d",

I thought A/B testing thumbnails was good, until I started to feel like it was hurting video performance. I already make the video the best way I think it should be and without having audience data, I don't know if I'm right or wrong. Sometimes I'm wrong and a video flops. I then pull it a",

We know that A/B testing has been a thing for thumbnails and titles for a while now, but YouTube have recently made an announcement that they will be bringing A/B testing to videos. Yes, videos.\n\nhttps://blog.youtube/news-and-events/innovation-youtube-era-made-on-viewers-creators/\n\nThis builds on the incredible success we've seen with other Studio tools like A/B testing, where creators have run more than 40 million experiments to find the perfect titles and thumbnails for their videos since the feature officially launched in 2024.
