The drawing says nothing, the numbers say everything. Snapchat at 436, messages at 278, and the viewer writes the story himself, someone juggling a lot of attention. The title invites him to test his own dating experience against the list.
The title names the topic and dares the viewer to compare notes.
The thumbnail hides the story inside three notification counts the viewer decodes alone.
Use this when a small detail can tell a whole story, an unread count, a step total, a bank balance. Let the viewer do the maths themselves. A conclusion they reach alone pulls harder than one you state.
Let one telling detail imply the whole story
What to avoid copying
The judging frame pulls an angry crowd along with the curious one. Borrow the implied-detail trick without the pile-on if you need an audience that buys.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
