    That’s typically the kind of videos I will never watch. The thumbnail is ridiculous (as per YouTube’s guidelines), the title is vague and clickbait. For those who did, what made you click?

    PS: thanks OP for adding details

      I refuse to use YouTube without sponsorblock and dearrow. I use Firefox on android with extensions and make a YouTube PWA because thumbnails in the official app are ridiculous.

      Even good channels like Veritasium have completely irrelevant titles make me skip videos I would’ve watched
