Appreciate your feedback on the latest video! I found some extra time this week to put together another thumbnail to see if it can jump-start the Click-Through Rate (CTR). 

I'd love to get your feedback on which thumbnail would work better with the current video title "America's Lost Airships"

The thinking behind the new thumbnail is that airships being used in a military setting a novel concept, while flying aircraft carriers are a bit more abstract and an overdone topic on our channel anyway.

In the meantime, we're running A/B Testing (showing two different versions of the thumbnail to the general audience) to gauge response.

Thanks again for your support!

Pacific battle scene is much more clear!

I love the battle scene but it's too unrealistic as if the airship was that low it would get smoked within minutes

Anthony De Bellis

I like the mid air deployment scene but it's a bit too busy, the bright red biplanes look like Japanese kanji script at first glance, I would just simplify it.

I looked at the thumbnails before reading the description, and I think the Pacific battel scene looks more appealing. At a glance, even seeing these thumbs much larger than they would show on YT, the midair deployment doesn't really look like that, it just looks like the plane is flying under a blimp. You have to study it and notice the tiny metal frame or notice the red outlines of the planes above and realize they're *in the airship* for it to work. The Pacific thumb doesn't really have the airship as the center of attention, with the ships taking too much focus, and the deployment thumb doesn't really convy the concept of 'deploying an airplane'. I don't think either thumbnail is the best it could be. I'm a bit leery about suggesting this, but you should consider taking some liberties with the deployment arm and the angle if the plane to better convey that it's being deployed. It's misleading about technical details, which is pretty off-brand for your channel, but it more accurately communicates a cool concept in the format constraints of a thumbnail. I'll let the pther patrons reply with some votes on whether that's acceptable.

Definitely prefer the Pacific Battle Scene. I don't think the video title needs to be changed, but I wonder about phrase in the thumbnail itself. When I first saw it come up on YouTube, it took me a moment to realize it was a Mustard video and not a hot take on current events.

Nikhil Patel

The pacific thumbnail has a sense if contrast, i think the angle in the mid air deployment one has been overused

Dave Gilbert

I might suggest doing another take on the mid-air deployment scene without the red silhouetted biplanes, and with the background airship farther away so it does not overlap the biplane in the foreground. I believe that would make the concept easier to understand more quickly. As always, the content and execution of your videos are brilliant!

For the mid-air one, the red planes you have for the internal hangar are distracting. Could also add a more dynamic pose to the Hawk. Have it maybe banking down and away from the airship. Title is tricky, I can see the issue with either. Airship videos generally cover the more civilian and German side. While flying aircraft carrier is an over used term. Maybe lean into the fact these were real and built. Most flying carriers were drawings and never built. Like "America's Real Flying Aircraft Carriers." Or maybe push the Crimson Skies vibe or pulp fiction of Airships a bit.
