Same for clickbait thumbnails, people hate them, and yet don't really click on non clickbaity ones.

In the marketing world this is called revealed preference. This stuff is A/B tested to death. Anyone trying to sell something is best served by watching people's behavior instead of listening to what they say, as the two are often different if not polar opposites.

I really wish there was a way to filter out the soy-O-face thumbnails entirely. I do not like them. I do not want to see them.

Its like when people say they hate politicians all the while they've been voting for the same Senator for the past 30 years.
