So I think it would be cool to have these as it could make games possibly even better cause and we could make them using adobe premiere but if anyone supports it we maybe should see who decides aka scratch

no support the reason animated thumbnails aren't allowed is because it lags low end devices

Well it would be like Roblox where you can add up to 5 thumbnails or video thumbnail but it would have to redirect you to YouTube

What about using forum youtube links instead? (as in, the scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube links)

as long as the video is safe (like this one https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/uwyRxK0htpI )
(edit: yes that's from the official channel)

doesn't the current forum youtube links have the same problem? if it doesn't, can't ST just do the same thing they did with the forum youtube links with this feature?

Well, in case you didn't know, let me introduce you to. “Content Not For Children but Dressed up as if it's For Kids!”

YouTube Kids, from what I've heard, has it's own… Interesting problems… Also I don't think it's new either so uuuhm. On top of that, I'm not going to put a name on it just in case but wasn't there a very very specific hack involving a statue telling kids to do very not good things as well as lots of content revolving around it that targeted kids? Yeah, I don't think YouTube Kids got a bright reputation.

Also, why video thumbnails? People have found ways to make moving thumbnails anyways. If you wanted to make a premiere or whatever so bad then just make a separate project and animate it.
