Thumbnails aren’t a bad thing, it’s normally when people use it to make it not look like the actual video it is, that’s when problems happen.
Kinda like dearrow? They are great. Reduces clickbait
In Peertube, creators have the option of using either a screenshot from the video as a video thumbnail, or they may upload a custom image to represent the video. This feature can be abused I agree, which is what dearrow fixes, but do you believe custom thumbnails can be used to enhance a video/viewers experience instead?
The video creator selecting a relevant thumbnail is great.
Giving users agency so that they can use an alternative video thumbnail, especially when creators succumb to clickbait, is also good.
I like them and use them all the time!
They’re basically a must have for any video platform
I hate them, because it’s just clickbait, and misinformation bullshit
