The thing with the thumbnail is that it needs to show something clearly with just a few pixels. So if you want to get the attention of people who might be interested in Castle architecture, you need a clearly contrasting item in there. So I think of it more in those terms: potentially interested people should be able to read the thumbnail at a glance.
There's also the thing that many people just look at the thumbnails rather than the titles. That's why most channels place some compelling text on the thumbnail, something that plays to people's curiosity.
There's an Indian video posted around the same time as mine about witches in the VM. It's got hundreds of thousands of views. The Turkish video has well over a million views. It's not that my aim is to reach similar numbers. But at least I want to stand out to people who are looking for some counterweight.
