🐞Classic thumbnail metadata toggle no longer working for thumbnail links below a watched video #4278

Description

Concise Description

A few months ago I submitted #3875. This was quickly added by this awesome community (@karthikeyansundaram2 I think) and I have been using it ever since it was implemented, thanks again for that!! Unfortunately, as of today I noticed that it is no longer working. The new, ugly metadata format described in #3875 is back, and the option in the extension menu doesn't change it.

'Steps to reproduce' - Which of our features is required for the bug to happen?

When watching any video, look at the thumbnails for other videos on the side. Note that the classic metadata look still correctly displays for videos on the home page, and for videos on a channel page; this is only affecting thumbnail links to videos below a video you're already watching.

Since when?

Since today, or possibly yesterday and I just didn't notice it when I was watching a video. I'm pretty sure it was something YT did.

Does the bug still happen when you log out of YouTube?

Yes

..No? Then please paste your yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS. Twice (With the error & Without)
