Saw this video. And it changes depending on if I view the thumbnail in my browser or in private mode/logged out of YT. Went back on their channel page logged in and it remains saying "You Are Not Right Wing" so it's not specific to their channel page showing a different thumbnail.

YouTube also will not stop trying to show me right-wing "downfall of Canada" videos. Maybe YouTube thinks I'm right-wing.

They let video makers A/B test thumbnails, I doubt they let users have access to something as valuable as viewers' political leanings

Sorry YouTube is calling you a lib

You can set different thumbnails for different platforms I think
