does anyone know or can’t point to a list that shows exactly how many letters you get in a title that visible / readable on screen? Of course it’s not the full 100 but desktop and mobile seem different to me and there could be variations beaded on is but I don’t know. It might be a good trick when choosing titles to make them more effective. Anyone know? Thanks

I believe that it actually differs based on the letters used in the titles, for example 'iiiiii' and 'sss', these two take the same space but I could fit more 'i' than 's' in that space meaning that youtube doesn't give you a limit for the amount of letters that could be visible next to the thumbnail, they give you space to fill with letters instead.
That also changes when using uppercase letters in the title.
I really hope that made sense to you.
