Poll: Which Thumbnail? (Patreon)

Update: The poll graph was decisive but some of the comments also made a good point that the much loved Option 1 image from the show opening titles might've been seen so much already by viewers that they ignore it here. 

So I thought it would be interesting to sign up to TubeBuddy and run an A/B test to see which thumbnail performed better. The results surprised me! Option 2 (me standing by KITT) allegedly got almost twice as many clicks. I really didn't think it would be that different. Thanks to everyone who voted and commented that led to this revelation - well worth it!

I'll be running a YT Shorts version of the video this weekend because although the feedback has been phenomenol, actual clicks are lower than hoped and simply I want as many people to enjoy this as possible. You can watch the Shorts here, although there's nothing really new: https://youtu.be/CUdq36bKxeo 

Something special coming to early access patrons later today though! Watch this space.

Original poll:

Regarding the video now with early access supporters, sometimes I just can't decide which thumbnail is nicest or more clickable, and need your help. This is one of those times!

Option 1:

Option 2:
