Changing the thumbnail could lead to different viewer reactions, which may help you gather data for the algorithm.

Replacing the thumbnail could potentially attract more traffic, so it's worth trying out.

I recently published a video with a thumbnail that I thought would attract views, but it turned out to have a big bug in it and only garnered 20 views instead of the usual hundreds. I'm wondering if changing the thumbnail could help bring in new traffic or if this video is already a lost cause. Should I consider deleting and re-uploading instead?

Can changing a thumbnail lead to increased traffic for a video?
