We all like Youtube, well we all have to use it at least, that's why we're here. But we all know how clickbaity and falsified and yea... plain distracting the thumbnails are. So I just did a quick search for something not knowing if it existed, and it works, perfectly, immediately. With no fuss. Thanks. You're a real developer for the people.
