Yep, that's right I hacked the big YouTube thumbnail. It's 1am and I was watching MrBeast when I came across something interesting.
I think that MrBeast's thumbnails update at a set time and according to the number of views.

As a developer, a light bulb went off in my head and I thought how can I implement this.

I challenged myself at 1am to hack together a script that would upload a new Thumbnail every 3 minutes with the view count.

To do this I used Python, Pillow, Google APIs and the YouTube API.
