      I mean, the cover of a book is very important as a first impression, sure…

      But if I like a book series, I don’t care what the cover is like… so, your point technically stands…

      The thumbnail is not the content.

      Not the whole content, but significant enough that it can be used as a sample signal about the editorial principles from the author.

      And yes, the same applies to book covers.

        Except the author generally does not design the book cover, and often does not design the thumbnail.

          Not the case here because mkbhd is author, editor and producer of the content.
