### Problem Description

It can be helpful to identify content I am in the mood for by looking for recognizable channel avatars beneath videos in a feed, especially when using a setting which changes the video thumbnail. Currently, only the channel name is listed beneath the video, and so there is no icon to easily identify the creator.

Tom Scott video w/ DeArrow active for context:

(it is difficult to know at a glance this is a Tom Scott video, which would change my interest in watching it)

### Proposed Solution

Adding a small profile picture next to the channel name, as already exists on stock YouTube, would add this helpful information at a glance:
