Unfortunately, terrible thumbnails and titles are just a part of the culture in some circles, even if the channels themselves make good content. Look at this trash, and these are actually the better ones:
LTT has repeatedly done less clickbaity titles/thumbnails and their views are noticeably lower. The YT algorithm pushes clickbait a lot more than non-clickbait.
It’s not really yt algorithm that pushes it. People click more on clickbait (duh) so yt sees more engagement so it shoes it more. Blame people, not youtube imo
