In your lofty sarcasm, you have missed the point that the static image
adds a wealth of info about the video that cannot be expressed with just the video's title. Whatever the video's title was, I deduce that the it would not have told you about what those two people, presumably reviewers, look like. (You also seem to have gone on a expedition to find the least helpful static preview possible, but set that aside for now.)
Restating the simile I've restated numerous times,
skins are like clothes. You choose them for how they look, not what they're named of. My proposition would turn the storeroom filled with vaguely labelled boxes into a walk-in closet. And in addition,

This sounds like a splendid idea for those with poor memory like me. I often end up going to my skins sub folder to be able to look at skins more quickly than in game where you have to do it one-by-one. Having a skin gallery like the example showed would make it far easier to go through and refind a skin if you can't recall the name of it, or if you have multiple skins with similar names but different appearances.
For example I have 3 skins that are Kagamine Rin and Len based, and all 3 are titled with their names but in slight variations. Remembering which one is which is incredibly confusing, but their themes are similar enough that there isn't really a more distinguishable way to name them even though all the skins look very different from each other.
The little preview in options does help immensely, but I feel a set up like this would be better.

[A]s a guy who used to have 100+ skins, which I used some of them occasionally, but didn't remember every single one of them, it would be a lot better to have a skin selection menu, similar to this one on the original post. [...] Not saying that it should replace the live preview button as well, though.

The problem with the live previews is that it actually takes longer to see all the gameplay elements of the skin than with a static picture. Sure, you can see it being played, but what about when you want to see something like what the sliderball, 100, or 50 looks like and are stuck either listening to the beginning of a song or waiting for that specific element.
Like you said yourself, I'm talking to the guy with 280 skins. If anyone knows the struggle of refinding a skin of which one forgot the name, it has to be you.
