Mohan proposes audience-specific thumbnails with AI-assisted A/B testing

Originalauszug

Dynamic thumbnails: Why not give creators the ability to have multiple thumbnails associated with their video, depending on who the audience is? A/B testing is a concept that’s existed for a while. Why not allow AI to put that in the hands of every single creator?
Algorithmic curation philosophy

AI surfaces audience choice—not editorial gatekeeping

Originalauszug

I often say, replace that word AI or algorithm with audience. It’s the audience that is choosing. That’s the difference between YouTube and other platforms.
Kontext

It’s not about the AI or the algorithm. That’s the stage. What you’re seeing in YouTube every single day is the audience giving you feedback.
