It's how YouTube content creators get recognized unfortunately. They gotta market themselves alongside their material, else they don't get a following. Nature of the beast. I hate it too.

I kinda figured as much. I’m sure the content is fine on the vast majority of them but when I used to use YouTube as a form of entertainment those types of videos were not my cup of tea. Perhaps there is data to suggest we are outliers.

There's an extension that makes all YT thumbnails generic stills from the video. I think it is called deArrow?
