From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

yt creators really don't have a choice, if they deviate from the stuff that the algorithm likes it kills the channel
Don’t only blame the algorithm. The users are to blame as well. People tend to click on these thumbnails more. It’s a clickbait technique and it works.
I like Brodie and click on every video lol, the thumbnails are funny
There are successful channels which don't do this.
I can't blame a creator for doing this, but I do lose a lot of respect for them when they do.
Check out Technology Connections. Very successful channel. Not a single clickbaity face in sight. It has the bold text, sure, but it mostly describes the actual video.
I think you missed the critical word "deviate" if you stick to the same thing it works, whatever it is
