thoughts on this

I think it sounds good. My videos are short so if it's a randomly selected preview, I might be ok since I try to make sure every second counts. If it's a preview we have to select, I just think...arghhh another thing I have to do to market my video.
 
I think it will increase retention time, as there won't be people clicking off after 2 seconds. I will bring in more clicks as once the video is in motion, it will draw people in to continue seeing it (unless it's junk, you know what I mean)
 
this is actually fantastic for animators. Finally something that helps us in the system haha :D I hope they roll this out for us all!
 
it depends on how much of the video is previewed though, if it's <30secs that won't be enough to determine clickbait or not, especially if the preview is just silent.

On top of that, if they do implement this for all channels, I hope they give us control over what portion of the video is previewable (or allow us to disable it) because there's no point in using it if it's going to automatically pick a portion of your video that might not necessarily "advertise" the best part. lol
