Video streaming services should provide an option to disable thumbnails and description (self.showerthoughts)

It happens so often where we’re watching a series and as we’re scrolling to the right episode, we see thumbnails made from a clip in that episode. So like if someone was maybe about to die, now I know that’s not gonna be the case. And most of the time, the description says too much.

Edit: I should maybe specific that I’m mainly talking about services like Netflix, Prime, etc.

There's a way to target elements with ublock origin (element picker tool), so you could theoretically remove all thumbnails.
