  I highly recommended adding this sponsor embed blocker; Https://sponsor.ajay.app/ to whatever adbocker you use.

  > a creator having a "merch" ad integration doesn't count as an ad. This is why you also install sponsorblock (https://sponsor.ajay.app/). Only whitelist the channels you want to "support", if you really want to make sure to eyeball the sponsorship (which doesn't really help unless it happens to be a product you actually are interested in buying). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

  This is from the same person that made sponsorblock https://sponsor.ajay.app/ This means that it's the community that sees sensational thumbnails and changes them to some other thumbnail.

But you can disable this and show original thumbnails, but if there is a community submitted thumbnail it will show the community submitted... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
