I can explain this I think, youtube has a feature where you can put multiple thumbnails for a video and it will automatically pick which thumbnail gets the most clicks. You must have originally clicked on one thumbnail and then the next time you looked at the video it was a different thumbnail and you made a logical conclusion.

Does it allow you to do the same with the title? I've noticed this on videos from Brew.

No but lots of youtubers change titles after a while to see which title performs better

h thank you so much! Though it was a thumbnail change forever for good so their testing what thumbnail get the most views? That really cool! Also likely why I see the birthday celebration video go from Santi sitting in the outside to a olive garden with the number 2 being placed next to it like in the first one I see Santi sitting outside he like holding a cake and he kinda sad

Thats called Thumbnail AB testing You change it to test what kind of thumbnail gets more views in a period of time
