> Having good thumbnails and tiles is just marketing

are you seriously going to pretend that optimizing for the most cringy thumbnails , because its a race to the bottom on Youtube, is marketing?

this is a ridiculous take.

Yes, but it's not about making cringe and it's not a race to the bottom.

I don't see how it's not marketing? YouTube is willing to promote your video for free and asks you to upload some promotional material for them to use.
