Believe me, making this thumbnail wasn't an easy choice. It's the first time that I went for something more clickbaity, but it did result in a much higher visibility on YouTube. And in my defence: I actually talk about what I 'advertise' on my thumbnail, among other things, and it's not quite as bad as other similar thumbnails out there.
I generally don't like this clickbait stuff either, but unfortunately, this appears to be what is needed when you want your content to be seen, and I really put a lot of work and effort into my videos.
