Facebook Ads
In order to promote any image on Facebook (share graphic or ad), it must comply by the 20% rule. This means that when overlaid by a 5×5 grid, text only appears in 5 or fewer of the boxes.
Videos are able to get around this rule by uploading a custom thumbnail which is 20% compliant. Facebook also favors videos by showing it to more of your audience, resulting in increased engagement.
