That's the way that yields the longest combined watch time from the audience.

Do they go back and change thumbnails after a while? LTT does focus on a lot of evergreen content as well.

No, that would be rewarding creators with a long history of producing high quality content.

YouTube gives a b testing for YouTubers based on watch time, so they can tune their thumbnails to the one that gets the most watch time. The audience doesn't always know the history of the chanel, they need to go off the thumbnail.
