Changing the title of a video

This is something I have not done a lot, so I am not sure about the effect on the algorithm, but after Alexa's video today, I did it anyway. I published the video as a members-only video on Saturday for early access. Yesterday I made it public and had 400+ views (for context: the channel has 1500+ subscribers).

The original title was: "How to save money when buying parts to upgrade your Miata".

I changed that to: "Don't waste money when buying parts to upgrade your Miata".

The goal was to give it more tension and spark curiosity.

The Thumbnail remained unchanged, because I think it was fine already. It has only 4 words and survived the readability test when reducing it to a 120px width, which is the size when people scroll on their mobile phone.

Please let me know what your experience is with changing the title after first publication, what you think of the title change and my thumbnail.
