I'm sure they'll also share their information with "content creators" so they can all start using the most popular colors and the site can become even more generic and samey

@LinkOpensChest_wav That is actually why. I've heard creators talk about how YouTube is rolling this new feature now, it gives you the options to add different thumbnails with different colors to target different audience, and see which one performs the best.

Gods help us all.

I wish there were an add-on to hide all monetized channels from my feed.

@LinkOpensChest_wav I recommend to use De-Arrow is from the same creator of sponsorblock if you want to change the thumbnails and titles, it is crowdsourced.

No channel is monetized if you are using an AdBlock. Hahahaha

Someone actually mentioned this to me a while ago, and I was planning to try it. Thanks for reminding me!
