Custom thumbnails are a real distribution lever; the next useful bit is A/B data so creators learn which frame actually earns the open.

This is a game-changer for creators! X handing us full control over video thumbnails uploading custom ones, picking the perfect frame, and even editing on the spot, is exactly the kind of creator-first move that levels up the platform. A strong thumbnail isn’t just decoration; it’s the hook that stops the scroll and drives real views, clicks, and engagement. This update puts power back in our hands. Time to make every video pop and tell our stories even louder. Big win, X. Let’s build. 🔥🚀💖🪄💡

That is very cool... Now if only they would stop lowering your reach if you make too many replies too quickly. You're telling me the algorithm can't tell that what I'm saying is obviously not being said by a bot?

How about they roll out some more data for super @grok instead of just trying to make themselves the beta max of our generation
