      Alternative Thumbnails is a feature available in the latest ReX patches.

      ReX is a fork of the discontinued Revanced Extended project, which in itself was a fork of the official Revanced project.

      I applied these patches using the Revanced Extended Manager on YouTube 18.33.37

        Dude this is dope, but I don't know if it is worth making the change for that feature alone, if I lose the patch of my YT again I'll try it!

        I'm using the root way.

        Thanks for the heads-up.

          I've been trying this for 2 days now. I would say this works. The simple, boring thumbnails do not trick my brain into clicking the video.

          You can export/import:

          1. Applied patches from ReVanced managers: Settings > Export patches selection
          2. In-app ReVanced settings: Profile Picture > Settings > ReVanced Extended > Miscellaneous > Import/Export > Export settings
          3. SponsorBlock profile: Profile Picture > Settings > Sponsor Block > (scroll all the way down) > Import/Export > (select and copy all the text) > (save this copied text in a text file OR pin it in your keyboard's clipboard) > (Now Go to new app and paste in Import)

          I switched from ReVanced Extended (RVX) to ReX using my exported settings. Doing it this way makes switching APKs a breeze.
