    Unfortunately the genuinely work for increasing engagement. A lot of YouTubers don’t like using thumbnails like this, but they’re passing up on viewers if they don’t.

      Yeah, the meta for channels is to make attention-grabbing thumbnails, and the meta for viewers is to use an extension that removes those. Peak innovation! /s
