Shoppers mid-purchase click because a verdict saves them an expensive mistake, and putting the question on an actual TV keeps the topic readable at a glance. But the screen repeats the title word for word. Showing the contending logos would have served these viewers better.
How the packaging works
Title
The title promises a ranking plus the story of the brands that vanished.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail shows a TV carrying text that repeats the title's question.
Remix this
If you make buying guides, put the real contenders in the image, logos or the products themselves. Comparison shoppers want their shortlist visible before they click. Save the verdict for the video.

Comparison shoppers need candidates shown, not questions repeated
