Cheers for the shoutout :)

I just started using my thumbnail image style with the idea that they would just be placeholders that I'd eventually change.

But like you said, I also just love how it gives my blog a clean, minimalist theme.

So the style is here to stay for now.

Images are also important for SEO

Alongside their purely visual value, images on 3Speak videos are also important when it comes to SEO.

Remember that this particular video is also within a post on leofinance.io (or whatever front-end you use).

Why does this matter?

Well, if video creators take full advantage of these posts by getting them to rank on Google, it can attract an ongoing stream of traffic (and thus revenue) to your videos.

Outside traffic viewing your old videos, long after the 3Speak algo has moved on.

Just having a single image with targeted alt text (the text inside the [] brackets), acts as an extremely important ranking factor and should never be left out.

PS. @taskmaster4450, I second that you should definitely consider doing (or paying someone to do) custom thumbnails for each of your videos.

As the highest rewarded creator, it's time ;)
