That's typically the kind of videos I will never watch. The thumbnail is ridiculous (as per YouTube's guidelines), the title is vague and clickbait. For those who did, what made you click?
PS: thanks OP for adding details

I refuse to use YouTube without sponsorblock and dearrow. I use Firefox on android with extensions and make a YouTube PWA because thumbnails in the official app are ridiculous.
Even good channels like Veritasium have completely irrelevant titles make me skip videos I would've watched

Fuck streaming. I've had my local mp3s for decades.
Same. I’ve got most of my downloads on my phone with VLC to play them
If you can get Poweramp player I highly recommend.
Great custom options like: crossfade control, replay gain... so many options.
