This lesson narrowed down for me what actually should be on a thumbnail versus the title.

Sparking curiosity with tension between the title and thumbnail without confusion really taught me a lot.

TITLE - explains Topic + Promise

THUMBNAIL - adds emotion that the title implies- "it says: this feels stressful, urgent"
