This means that it's the community that sees sensational thumbnails and changes them to some other thumbnail. By default dearrow shows random thumbnails if no other were provided by the community. But you can disable this and show original thumbnails, but if there is a community submitted thumbnail it will show the community submitted one. I think for example the arte thumbnails won't get changed to other thumbnails as they are not sensational/clickbaity/mouth open.

If people don’t want to pay for YouTube, then why not use peertube[0]?

I don’t understand the arguments here. If you don’t want ads, then pay for Premium. It’s fantastic that an option exists to solve the problem! If you don’t like the price, then don’t pay for it.

Somehow people have got it in their minds that YouTube owes them content for free. That’s a great mindset to make the shift to peertube and away from YouTube, but I don’t think it holds up as justification for getting mad at YouTube for forcing their preexisting paid plan to remove ads.

Either pay for YouTube Premium or shift to a different model of video sharing. Both options currently exist!
