Never thought about riding a goat, but it would probably make good click bait! The gal in the video is fine player to be sure. As you mention, it does take more than good playing to drive traffic. We are visual creatures after all

She has got a much bigger target audience than a regular dude playing guitar. I think it's as simple as that.
Let's take Steve T videos as a different example. I'm sure it's not just other guitar players who watch this. I recon it's a bunch of dumb kids as well, given his sense of humor ... or lack of it. I hope noone get's offended. It's definitely not my thing though
Playing guitar on Youtube is a long way to get some serious audience. However, if you do that naked while riding a goat backwards at the same time ...
Yeah, I know it's sad.
Very true! Also most people discover new music now through youtube more than any other streaming service. Even more than spotify. So the visual element is very important indeed. There are better players than the gal in the video on youtube who don't get anywhere near the traction that she gets. It's a real advantage to have a thumbnail for the vid with a pretty girl in it. I know that sounds sexist and just wrong. It's just how things work.

Important for sure!
All earthlings use all senses we have at our disposal, therefore visual appeal matters. This is also why people prefer watching a video rather than an mp3 player, when listening to music.
