Save referenceIdentity & Self-Relevance
If your channel is under 1,000 subscribers, the title speaks to you by number. The thumbnail shows where you want to be, a brand new channel sitting at 1.1k. 'DO THIS NOW' hides the one step between the two.
Naming '1000 subs' picks out small creators by the exact number they're chasing, and NOW says the step is worth doing today.
It looks like a plain screenshot of a channel page, the screen small creators check daily, and 1.1k shows the milestone just crossed with nothing else to look at.
When your audience is chasing a milestone they see on screen every day, recreate that screen with the milestone just crossed. Name where they are now in the title, and keep the method hidden.
Name where they are, show the screen they're hoping for.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
