I have been posting regularly for 3 weeks (a video every 3/4 days) so not very long but I have good thumbnails and average titles I haven't seen an increase in clicks. Here is 1
Search your keyword. Look at your competition. How does your thumbnail look in comparison? If you looked at it next to the other thumbnails you found with that keyword, would you click on them?
I think we often ignore our own behavior when we make thumbnails. Often we post thumbnails we wouldn't click on ourselves. There are many threads on thumbnails here on the forum and a Feedback board. I would encourage you to spend some time there looking at the feedback and posting your own for feedback.
That said I'm locking this thread since there are so many other threads on the same topic.
