Yeah, while it is annoying, I know there is a whole art form to those thumbnail images and there are other people I respect that are worse about them. I think they've talked pretty openly about how those are simply the annoying part of being in the YouTube business and if they didn't, they would just be leaving views on the table.
I’ve heard this, too, but I’m glad MBKHD’s thumbnails are largely not in this style. He’s our last hold out! (And he seems to be doing just fine.)
