I do the same. If a clickbait thumb is the first thing I’m seeing from some channel, it’s surely getting the “Don’t recommend” treatment.
The only exception I make is if I’m already subscribed to a channel and I know that the video will be okay despite the thumbnail. In this line of thought I have mad respect for channels that do their usual stuff with just plain thumbnails like they always have done.
You report channels for having different tastes than you? Whether you like the clickbaity thumbnails or not (Majority of us here on Lemmy don’t like them, myself included), we’re quite the minority. Clickbaity thumbnails work, otherwise we wouldn’t see them.
You’re calling the cops on a store owner because you don’t like their advertising. They’re not the ones abusing something, you’re the one abusing the report button.
When I see thumbnails like this, I click the three little dots and select “Don’t recommend channel”. I encourage you all to do the same.
