Flipboard Tech Desk

Five years ago designers were charging as little as $20 for YouTube thumbnails. Since the pandemic, the video-sharing platform has boomed, and with it the demand for quality thumbnails. Now online creators like MrBeast are paying up to $10,000 per custom image for their videos. But the emergence of image-generating AI has left some designers worried about their livelihoods.

Rest of World · AI comes for YouTube’s thumbnail industryCreators like MrBeast pay up to $10,000 for a single YouTube video thumbnail, but the rise of AI tools has some designers anxious about the microeconomy’s future.

@TechDesk Creators like mr. beast? That's an oxymoron. Let's be a bit more honest with the descriptions, shall we? Exploiter. Click-bait artist. He would be the antithesis of the term creator. That guy at Project Farm is immeasurably more of a creator than that idiot. He is the movie Jackass on a smaller stage. Let's see what stupid thing we can do next.
No. Not a creator. Another clown with more money than brains.
