This was a good video, and was NOT click bait... so please, pretty please, don't stoop down to their level by using the same sort of bullshit thumbnails like you did in this vid!
When paired together with a non-revealing video title -- like you also used here -- it conveys a false impression about what the video will be about. Displaying the same rectangular battery image that you used in the video would still invoke or (at least, my) curiosity and gain a click...
Again, the content of the video was great and I learned of something new, which I appreciate! However, that's the entire drive behind this message, because typically I will avoid these types of vids solely based on their most-likely-unrelated (ie 'clickbait') or completely fictitious thumbnails. (caveat: as mentioned, if the title states what it's about, like if you had included "rechargeable lithium cell", it would've at least put the thumb into perspective and been a hint that the image is fake but used instead as to not give away the entire content)
There, I've said my part, and will mosey along! 😊🥴
Thanks for the vid!
