There's an extension you can get that removes the clickbait thumbnails. I think this the right one. It really makes YT browsing so much better.

I've started consciously avoiding clickbait looking thumbnails for a while. While this addon looks great on paper, I do prefer to support creators who don't treat me like a kid in a candy store. That being said, I had no idea this addon existed, that's pretty cool

Yeah, but then I'd support the practice through my click. I'd rather block 90% of YT content.
