Can someone explain to me why more and more youtube videos just have words or a video title behind major, or random elements of the thumbnail?
Like... I get it if you are artfully blocking part of a controversial word, or making the imagery and text flow together.
But the last year I've been seeing more and more people just do text masking on thumbnails completely randomly, such that its not clear at all what the full word or phrase even is, making the inclusion of text in that manner just pointless.
