youtube was dead to me when they introduced the custom thumbnail. fundamentally anti-user move, designed entirely to let people obscure the actual contents of their video with photoshopped soyfaced slop
It's not like people weren't already just putting a single frame in the video that they could select as the thumbnail before the fully custom thumbnail option was added.
There are web extensions to use a random frame instead
Well except people were making thumbnails inside their video and referencing it via timestamp, so it wasn't a huge change.
