If only there was a Revanced patch for that.
Alternative Thumbnails is a feature available in the latest ReX patches.
ReX is a fork of the discontinued Revanced Extended project, which in itself was a fork of the official Revanced project.
I applied these patches using the Revanced Extended Manager on YouTube 18.33.37

Here it is in action:
Dude this is dope, but I don't know if it is worth making the change for that feature alone, if I lose the patch of my YT again I'll try it!
I'm using the root way.
Thanks for the heads-up.
I've been trying this for 2 days now. I would say this works. The simple, boring thumbnails do not trick my brain into clicking the video.
You can export/import:
Settings > Export patches selectionProfile Picture > Settings > ReVanced Extended > Miscellaneous > Import/Export > Export settingsProfile Picture > Settings > Sponsor Block > (scroll all the way down) > Import/Export > (select and copy all the text) > (save this copied text in a text file OR pin it in your keyboard's clipboard) > (Now Go to new app and paste in Import)I switched from ReVanced Extended (RVX) to ReX using my exported settings. Doing it this way makes switching APKs a breeze.
Ok, I don't think we are using the same client because I definitely don't have a profile picture, I am using this version.
