The creators of SponsorBlock did it again, now we can crowdsource better titles and thumbnails as well. I just tried it with LinusTechTips who is a worst offender when it comes to clickbait and its really great.
Compare without DeArrow
and with the extension
I’m loving this and have contributed a bunch already, but one problem I’m noticing is people labeling things “reviews” on videos that are definitely not reviews, like impressions videos or unboxings.
That seems cool. I’ll definitely try that out, thanks for sharing!
Already using sponsor block and that saved me quite a bit of time!
If this ever gets ported for NewPipe and/or LibreTube it’ll be sensational
The fact that it exists makes me happy :]
I tried it. It works well. But, I don’t think I will use it, because I usually know YouTubers to avoid when it comes to clickbaiting. Looking at you, Scotty Kilmer. :)
Holy shit! This is amazing! But how will I ever know what’s REALLY IMPORTANT without ALL CAPS and a shitton of BANGS?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Don’t forget the USELESS FUCKING ARROWS.
Unless it’s pointing to a red circle.
When it removes the entirety of LTT from YouTube it will worth a try. There isn’t much in this world that makes me seethe but that plonker is one.
I get that people can find him annoying, but that plonker’s video on dashcams actually helped me make a properly informed choice that literally saved me hundreds of dollars AND ensured I got something that actually had higher fidelity recording than many devices multiple times its price.
I kinda like LTT materials, especially with Anthony but this extension is a godsend as I always hated their crappy thumbnails and titles.
Oh nice, thank you for making this and Sponsorblock Ajay, what a great person.
Any plans for Safari?
Yes, I hope to have it up in a few weeks
I’ve been using it for a few days. Some occasional loading delays but it’s been great. Thanks!
Just out of curiosity, how do you determine what is and isn’t clickbait?
I’d like to know this as well. The extension looks super interesting, but how does it determine what to replace the thumbnail and title with?
