YouTube videos flicker to thumbnail

Help

I've got a 1080ti, i7 7700k, and 16GB of RAM. When watching YouTube videos, it'll occasionally flicker to the thumbnail of the video I'm watching for like 1 frame, and this happens in both full screen and windowed. Oddly enough, this only happens with YouTube, not Netflix. I've tried both hardware acceleration on and off, and this whatever it's supposed to do.

Same thing in Safe Mode and a fresh test profile?

It kinda stopped by itself like halfway through a video and I have no clue why. Maybe it was something on YouTube's end?

This is a YT issue it seems - happens on a channel I watch often for the first few hours after upload, and then fixes itself later. The videos get a bunch of comments about it during that time, then nothing.
