Does anyone else reflexively recoil from videos with that kind of thumbnail? This could be the best game in the world and that kind of stupid face and hyperbolic text sends it right to my brain's spam folder.

absolutely. The hardest thing about using youtube now is the thumbnail cringe and the constant asking you to log in.

I can't imagine using YouTube not logged in. I used my Subscriptions and Watch Later tabs religiously.

For the thumbnails, there's DeArrow. Unfortunately it doesn't seem quite as popular as its creators other crowd-sourced YouTube improving extension: SponsorBlock. (Both are supported by ReVanced, if you're on Android.) But that mainly matters for titles, iirc, with thumbnails being automatically taken from a random frame of the video.
