YouTube has begun a test where thumbnails for videos will be blurred if they contain content categorized as mature. The feature has been rolling out to a small number of users since yesterday to prevent them from accidentally seeing sexually themed content according to community guidelines.
The video title, channel name and description of the content will still be visible. Users will have the option to turn off the feature if they don't want it. This is a feature that exists on other sites like Reddit for content labeled NSFW.
