YouTube’s first video recently received a MrBeast-style thumbnail update
YouTube‘s first video is more than 18 years old, but it recently received an update that brought it in line with contemporary digital content trends. Jawed Karim, the YouTube Co-Founder who turned a herd of elephants into a piece of history, uploaded a new thumbnail for “me at the zoo” earlier this year.
In 2005, Karim kicked off the YouTube era with a 17-second clip set at the San Diego Zoo. Recently, some viewers who searched for “me at the zoo” received a surprise: A new thumbnail that shows Karim with glowing eyes and a herd of elephants to his right. It’s a change that seems at least partially inspired by MrBeast, who has ushered in a new era of thumbnail design by pairing funny faces with eye-grabbing details.
