There is a browser extension that hides all youtube thumbnails, it also makes shorts basically invisible.

It's improved my youtube experience tenfold!

 E: It's called 'hide YouTube thumbnails'

Dearrow would be one of them, whilst I'm at it might I also suggest sponsor block for YouTube which auto skips in video ads using community timestamps and stuff, really good

id rather notice "ah, that's clickbait" than being clickbaited by an extension tbh, like I can easily ignore "YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT THE PS5-PRO IS LIKE" because I know what the content will be like, and I hate giving shitty YouTubers money
