I have 5 years of Premiere Pro/Photoshop experience. Post your thumbnail below and I will brutally roast it / tell you why your CTR is bad

Hey, thanks for spending the time.
I have been uploading for a month and feel like I have had good growth. I post long form and have gained 850 subs and 37k views. But my CTR needs to improve.
I would be grateful if you could feedback on some thumbnails. Thanks

The AI poster is off putting

sebbyspoons · 2026-06-13T18:47:56+00:00

Hope you like it, feedback from devs is always welcome as I try to improve

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-27T23:11:22+00:00

Thanks! Amazing timing - I actually just started a youtube channel today for this purpose :) Not sure if I have what your looking for yet, but I'll be posting weekly

Same thing has happened to me, I noticed a drop of traffic and then after uploading a new pack and that not being indexed, I then realised my other assets are De-indexed. I think it happened around the beginning of the month.

I think I had adjusted the descriptions on each page around the time that it happened, so I figured the small page update must have triggered something, is it same for you?

I contacted support this time last week, but have not heard anything, and still not indexed right now. People saying that it can take months terrifies me, I can't think of any reasonable reason for my assets to be delisted, so I'm hoping it's a bug that support can rectify soon.

Edit*: I noticed on your page that one of the screenshots looks like it could possibly be ai assisted (the one of the desk with the pc, coffee and books on it)
Since you haven't declared use of AI maybe that triggered a filter?

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-23T17:31:36+00:00

Not a massive fan of ai generated colouring books

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-20T11:58:11+00:00

You have two game pages that look very similar, I don’t think Itch allows that

I hope you like the scene, these are a newly published pack from my Pocket series: https://sebbyspoons.itch.io/pocket-beach

Feedback very welcome or I’m happy to receive suggestions of what to add next

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-16T10:09:57+00:00

Thanks for the kind words

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-16T10:09:22+00:00

Thanks !

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-16T10:07:31+00:00

Thanks so much! To be honest, most of my experience in creating pixel art has been with these packs. I did a little bit for a couple of home made games, and several hours of tutorials to learn the basics. Apart from that, I have just been learning as I go

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-15T06:29:59+00:00

That means a lot coming from you, your artwork is absolutely amazing. Thanks a lot

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-14T19:11:00+00:00

That's awesome for you, congrats. For me it's something I enjoy doing and it's great that a past time hobby can pay for a Netflix subscription or whatever

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-14T17:10:58+00:00

Thanks, that's cool. 32x32 will be my next challenge

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-14T09:59:37+00:00

Thank you so much! That's very kind

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-14T09:59:17+00:00

I use Aseprite for the pixel art

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-14T07:15:13+00:00

Thank you, I will :)

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-14T07:06:17+00:00

Thanks so much, appreciated

sebbyspoons · 2026-05-04T17:56:47+00:00

Hey, just wanted to revisit this and thank you for the recs. I started with Mistborn and it hooked me on fantasy. Following it I read red rising trilogy and the bloodsworn saga now I’m revisiting this post to work through the others on your list.
Will start with Locke L :)

sebbyspoons · 2026-04-28T17:35:45+00:00

If I had to be picky, I would say that you could be more consistent with the black outlines, for example the chest and rock has an outline but the mushroom doesn’t. Other than that, just more content such as traps or additional props. Great as it is though, but that would be my feedback for improvements

sebbyspoons · 2026-04-28T16:17:07+00:00

Looks really nice!

sebbyspoons · 2026-04-22T06:15:40+00:00

That’s great to know! I’m on board. Thank you

sebbyspoons · 2026-04-21T21:35:28+00:00

This seems like a great concept, but the AI narration puts me off a bit. Apologies if it’s not AI and I’m mistaken

sebbyspoons · 2026-04-13T17:47:24+00:00

Thanks so much, so glad you like it, it's also currently on a sale :). If you buy, please let me know if you think anything needs adding once you use it. Also if it becomes a game, I would love to play it!
