If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it's gone. So Youtube being Youtube.

Here's a Odysee mirror of the video, https://odysee.com/@jopec:7/linus-tech-tips-degoogle-your-life-part-2-adfree-youtube:0.

There would be less talking over each other over definitions if the music industry had not convicted people that murder and stealing on boats was good way to describe unauthorized copying.

Well that's a thumbnail I'd never click on

All of their thumbnails are unfortunately click-baity. They spoke about ut in an older video. Apparently, the click-baity images drive too much traffic for them to justify something more subtle.

There's a Firefox plugin that replaces YT thumbnails with stills from the video. It makes browsing YT so much better.

I use brave or Firefox + uBlock. Never see any ad.

uBlock Origin, not uBlock. uBlock is a bullshit extension riding uBO's popularity to bait people into downloading it.
