freeCodeCamp started creating custom thumbnails for every tutorial we publish on /news.

What do you all think about these? Do they make you more likely to click through and read the tutorial?

I like it!

Nice! So does this mean authors no longer create their own thumbnails?

Good reminder that I want to get on a regular schedule of publishing again!

That's right – we'll do this for you. Not that we don't trust authors to not create good thumbnails, but we want to ensure there's no AI art, and that the text has high enough contrast for accessility reasons.

Makes sense!

I can’t honestly say that it makes me more likely to click, but I think it is aesthetically an improvement.

Is this only for videos, or for text tutorials, too? And, if its for both, can you add a tag that says whether its one or the other - kind of like the weekly emails?

Yes 🔥

This is actually better. Easier to sift through.

Is the process automated? Or is it being painfully done manually?
