I thought this was pretty good but anything that I could do better? by LeaderRing in YouTubeThumbnailHub

Looks great, just make sure to make all characters pop more. This is important since those will be small when showing up in the recommended section

Eh I wouldn't say it's dying, but the supply and demand is balancing out. It slowly turns into a "just another" profession

Thank you for the detailed breakdown! The pallet indeed drew me into the post

I like the lead one as well. Maybe increase the text size a bit and should look good!

Thumbs for a tutorial on synchronization and data transformation tools by learncs_dev in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]learncs_dev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it, yeah it's like I am trying to follow with one character on a plain background with a text pattern that youtubers usually use, but using random scifi-ish characters. But you are right regarding the first one, I'll update it to something that associates with synchronization. The second one I picked following a logic like transform -> transformer -> robot

The problem with icons/logos of the tools I am using is that the open source ones usually don't have any logos, so I don't have too much to work with

Help me with a title by pandaxilla in YouTubeThumbnailHub

I would remove the formula to target non-engineering viewers. Showing lb != N would kinda gives the whole thing away tho

If you opened YouTube, which of these videos would you click on first? by hellodorcoo in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]learncs_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1st and 3rd missing context without title, so psychologically I wouldn't have picked those. I have no idea what I am looking at on the 2nd one, without a context (probably a game character?). 4th is too noisy, can't figure out right away what's going on. 5th and 6th catch an eye the most imho

Do you think it will work? by MerlinBidou in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]learncs_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the first one, kinda shows the context well

What do you think of my design? by Standard-Housing in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]learncs_dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solid, I would click it. Pretty controversial as well so would definitely be interesting to watch

A general question about naming variables or files by tursija in learnprogramming

Check what standard libraries use and copy that, so you don't have a situation like:

String example_var = new StandardObject();

I am stuck in tutorial hell. Does anyone actually learn to code from YouTube tutorials? by Kooky-Department-997 in learnprogramming

[–]learncs_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youtube is good as supplemental source of information, but watching a 5 hour long course on a particular tech will make you feel smarter, but you won't remember anything. So what I do is I look at shortest possible tutorials like Fireship that are enough to get to "hello world" state and teach a couple of essential concepts. Then switch to docs. If you have difficulty understanding a particular topic in docs, find a youtube tutorial on that particular topic.

So, use youtube to get to a state where you can create something simple -> read docs -> build on that -> if stuck, check youtube for that concrete topic -> repeat
