If that's the definition, then the thumbnails we're talking about aren't click-bait.
The thumbnails are doing the funny hat thing.
A click bait, is a bait, a lure in all instances to get something different what is expected.
A fish wanting the worm gets the hook, a fox wanting the meat, gets the snap trap. The clicker wanting the content promised in the title, gets something different, not what is expected.

An instructor still delivers all the details and content as expected with or without the funny hat. Not so for click bait videos.
