Unfortunately all social media sharing requires a thumbnail for easy clicking, no real way around it. (with Hacker News as the lone exception of course)

The default thumbnails in lieu of your own aren't good.

I’ll honestly take the “put some text in the thumbnail” trend that GitHub, Nuxt Content, etc all do, over a low-quality image.
