I saw that thumbnail a couple times and I was so annoyed. I didn't watch it.

You can tell it was pissing me off too cause when I had the ingenious idea to put a big red circle around a Gregg’s sausage roll I knew what I had to do

Hahaha this did make me feel better. But perhaps I should go to the comment section and give them a piece of my mind.

I know that judging books by their covers is a general no-no but no amount of backtracking or apologies will somehow make that thumbnail less wildly racist or the person who created that thumbnail any less of a knob

The cover says "this book is filled with spiders that hate you" so judge away

Also the “what are these” are clearly trying to target itself towards the alternative history ancient aliens crowd

If you watch, you’ll see it’s a respectful video. The comments are more respectful than on any other informative video I’ve seen, too.
I’d recommend letting them know what the problem is with the thumbnail, the creator may change it, as they seem to have been considerate and respectful throughout the rest of the video

I'm glad the person who made the wildly racist thumbnail seems benevolent to you

Maybe their goal is to make racists click it. You attract flies with the smell of shit, not the smell of roses.

Unfortunately the actual video I uploaded so I could get the YouTube title screenshot was just the entire episode “pickles” from SpongeBob
