Spent 6 hours trying to fix a thumbnail sizing issue

I couldn't figure out why my YouTube thumbnails looked blurry on mobile... turns out I was saving them at 720p instead of 1080p for three months straight. Has anyone else wasted a whole afternoon on something this simple?

Oh man, the "three months straight" part REALLY hit home. That's not just a tech thing, that's the story of my whole life honestly. I think we all have these little blind spots where we just assume we're doing something the right way because nobody ever told us different. It makes you wonder how many other simple mistakes we're all making every single day without even knowing it. The REAL kicker is that it usually takes some random tiny thing to finally make you see what was RIGHT in front of you the whole time.

@barbara_baker57 yeah that random tiny thing is usually your face smacking into the wall.

Whoa that's wild, I hadn't even thought about the "random tiny thing" part. Makes me wonder if some of the big changes in our lives start from the smallest dumb luck moments.
