OP

It bothers me since it sets a bad precedent for the majority of the community. It pressures smaller YouTubers into spending more time on pleasing an algorithm in need of reform rather than developing their channels. This emphasis is likely exacerbating the spread of hateful content on the platform.

And the thing is channels can be successful without highly sensationalized titles and thumbnails. Fascinating Horror (which has over a million subscribers) is a great example of this. And given the opportunity, there may be an increasing number of people willing to check out a video if it has a less provocative title. This Teitter poll done by Genetically Modified Skeptic shows a dead heat between the two styles: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic/status/1618794431779586051. I think there is room for decreased sensationalism in thumbnails/titles. I also think audiences are beginning to open up to the idea of toning this sort of thing down.
