No. I'm not going to sit through 2 minutes of ambiguous content if I don't know if it's going to pay off. It's not 'starting the video in the middle', it's showing me what the video is about, if I'm interested I can watch more. You're likely spoiled by imgur's curation, you only ever see the good stuff so you don't understand the purpose of highlighting it.
No. It is a proven hook that absolutely does generate and retain interest. The algorithm loves it and there is no going back. I hate it because it is a spoiler of the best moment in any given clip. Like being shown the climactic end of a movie before the opening credits.
Do not click "onlinevideos.click". It's a nasty linkfarm that seems to appear now when someone posts a YouTube video in the comments. It seems to be a script wrapping a YouTube downloader into an absolutely ad infested page. Then the bot posts it's link and has a swarm to upvote itself over the original comment.

My antivirus flags many of the ads on Imgur's main page as malware traps or malicious sellers. This whole place is getting bad. Then, there's these assholes

Sounds Hawaiian, doesn't it?

There’s something so much more visceral that a digitized sound effect can’t replicate

Screaming into the void can be very therapeutic
gronzilla
Apparently it's very very disallowed for me
Z0op
Screaming into the void != whine like a lil bitch at the void
gronzilla
Lol. Zero self-reflection.
DarthKillian
Yes. Thank you. I thought I was the only one. I hate it.

Sorry, out of our hands. You gotta take it up with The Algorithm.

Affray
I don't really watch new movies anymore, but I started avoiding trailers forever ago because they always show the best bits and spoilers.

Influencers ruin everything.

Yeah, imgur let's through like ... 2005 forum spam. They've got no chance against the more insidious stuff like onlinevideos
fubizdaddie
But now that they're trying to force website users to use the app instead, everything will be better! /S
