YouTube custom thumbnails feature availability
- by skat
I've been trying to figure out this on my own for weeks, but now I give up. 'Custom thumbnails' feature on YouTube is such a controversial one, it was changed so much... so much that even FAQ on YouTube doesn't fully describe it's features (as I see).
I have a YouTube channel for one of my websites. This YouTube channel is main marketing force for my website - it brings all the boys to my yard (I mean, website). So I have to use all the hacky-tricky stuff to increase my visibility on youtube. And damn, those custom thumbnails are giving me hard times...
As far as I understand, this is current state of 'custom thumbnail' feature:
"If your account is in good standing, you may have the ability to upload custom thumbnails for your video uploads."

My channel has good standing, has more than 50000 views. So why the hell my account is still not eligible for this feature? anyone have any idea?
