an unfortunate appeal to the recommendation algorithm that is now a must. You are leaving views on the table without employing these clickbait methods. One solution that many channels use including Veritasium is trying out various clickbait packaging for the first 24-48h, then swapping to something more descriptive.
When these videos represent not only one person's livelihood but also the salaries of a team of producers, camera operators, scriptwriters, etc it just makes unfortunate sense to appeal to the algorithm
But I sit on the other side. I hate it and will tell everyone how much I hate it.
--- Edit:
Or, if you prefer, in market terms: Because I am not alone, there is a market for non-clickbaity titles, non-exaggerated thumbs, and there are channels that cater to this market.
This thread might prove an excellent case study for YouTube. I was subscribed to all of the channels I listed and a few more along the same lines; my recommendations have never shown me videos from some of the other channels people have posted in this thread or in reply to my own post. If you want a good recommendations system, this thread has been better than YouTube's algorithm for discoverability on these kinds of topics.
I can't imagine anyone is actually happy with how YouTube works on this front.
Absent action from YouTube, this appears to be what you're looking for on a different page: https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions?flow=2
He actually talks about that here:

Apparently an early video of his about a spinning basketball originally had a non-clickbait title; someone else posted it with a clickbait title and got at least an order of magnitude more views. So now, he makes clickbaity titles.
It's an entertainment channel, and if you want light science entertainment, and expect to forget everything within a few hours, it's a good channel. If you want a science/learning/education channel, it isn't.
