    There are thumbnail “trends” that lead to videos performing better algorithms wise and this matches it. That and the stupid face the centre guy is pulling leads me to agree with the other commenter.

      Ah, thanks for the explanation. The clickbait thumbnails I’m used to are the ones where they show an image of something crazy that never actually occurs in the video itself.

        You’re most welcome, I only know beyond the click bait you mentioned because some YouTuber was transparent about learning how to make thumbnails for that purpose (maybe funhaus back in the day).
