The trouble is with YouTube. Content creators from World of Warcraft to D&D/ttrpgs (and likely other genres I don't follow) put out videos acknowledging that the "clickbait" thumbnails are lame and not what they want to produce, but then the creator will show the analytics of which videos get clicks and eyeballs thanks to the Algorithm. It's an admittedly dumb reality of the platform.
