I have heard of Vid IQ, but never used this tool. I use TubeBuddy instead. I use Canva to create thumbnail for my videos. If you are a beginner, you might not not exactly the size you need for your thumbnail but as you continue to make more videos you will know what works and what doe snot work based on your own experience, therefore, you might never need tool like thumbs up. You also don't need a tool like CapitalizeMyTitle because you can so that on your word processing program like ms world. Never heard of the tool called AnswerThePublic.com, but based on what I have read here, I think this is something I need to check. If you are active on youtube and if you are working single highhandedly (you don't have a team), I think you will always need fresh ideas for your videos, and tool like this might come very handy.
