Jan. 7th, 2026 04:12 amTested a search term yesterday to pull the video up for everyone we'll be seeing over these next few weeks, and discovered that the search result instead displays the thumbnail of a video I had used a snippet from and provided an info card (in-video type of link) back to, even though I had specifically implemented a custom thumbnail that does display on my channel and under inbound links from Twitter. Set the video back to Unlisted (still viewable through links), tried various solutions to remedy this, and brought the issue up on Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube's own help forum. Nothing worked, and while someone from TeamYouTube initially did get back to me immediately, even he has yet to again.
Out of fairness for my followers, I am going to create a short video this morning to explain what happened, complete with an info card, end card, and description link to the main video.
