    Clickbait remover uses YouTube’s auto generated ones, which while are seemingly random, are not. They use some algorithm to target faces in exaggerated expressions.

    DeArrwow uses actually random ones (and then a user can submit specific timestamps if there is a better one). It’s noticeable better on many channels imo

    (I made DeArrow)

      Interesting! I’ve suspected this before but nice to get a confirmation. Some thumbnails have seemed a bit too conveinient to be randomly selected
