This may be effective and I don’t doubt for one second that there’s a lot of people and businesses using tactics like this but that doesn’t mean it’s right.

It’s hard enough to get noticed on YouTube as it is without spamming companies like this working like crazy to make it even more difficult.

What you’re really doing is raising the bar higher so that the “little guy” has less of a chance than ever.

Also, from what I’ve seen on the YouTube blog and forums lately, manipulating the thumbnail image has gotten harder to do because they no longer pick a frame from the exact middle of the video. They’re now using an algorithm that, among other things, avoids picking frames anywhere near a hard cut.

[...] the xplosion of information on the internet means high signal-noise ratio. we need filtering mechanisms – friends, trusted sources, or our own motivation to check it out for ourselves. as my mother told me: ‘question everything’. but even our friends and large media outlets have limited time and resources. things need to posted as soon as received, otherwise it’s not current – 48 hours after posting to youtube, you gotta get your vid 50,000 hits to get up there on the daily most-watched, otherwise you go down to the weekly most watched according to dan ackerman greenburg.
