just kinda mid especially since you pay for it.

Great, thank you!

I think people should be able to vote without clicking into the video. it would make the system more engaging to incentivize participation, and maybe lead to less low quality changes. Unless you are submitting, judging the quality or annoyingness of a title/thumbnail doesnt require watching it.

It almost exclusively work on channels that do mild and tolerable clickbait, for example Tom Scott

Great extension, but sometimes titles are blank

As someone who is possible Neurodivergent, I would like to thank you SO MUCH for this add-on

I have been using it for 1 Month now and it solve my major issues that has been plaguing Youtube!
The Clickbaits and Extremely Vague Tittles in the style of "The x situation is y" "It's Over" "The x thing you will never y" "This x thing changed my life" "Buzzword Buzzword Sloppy Clickbait" 😵‍💫
Clickbait? More like Click-REPEL!

In fact, a channel I used to be subscribed is more tolerable now with this addition because the Add-on tells me what the subject of the video is instead of vague posting titles and having all the freaking thumbnails being the guy's face! 😩

The Final Straw of me installing this was a video I watched with a friend online.
It was a 20 minutes long about an Xbox 360 game that stole assets from Nintendo... only for it to reveal it halfway the video it was a Fire Emblem sprite...

Just had today's Formula 1 race spoiled because DeArrow put the race results as the thumbnail for the race highlights vid instead of leaving the original alone. Never using this garbage again.

The thumbnails are sometimes bad chosen 😓 Maybe combine it with SponsorBlock's main point or most reviewed moment, etc.
Also I use Unhook (removes recommandations bar, etc.) but it conflicts 😩
Maybe also add this option to DeArrow 🥺

With all that, it would be a real 5 ⭐ extension 😁

I feel that this goes way too overboard with its definition of clickbait and ends up compromising the artistic intent of some channels. I specifically noticed this on ahoy's channel, where the movie poster like thumbnails and simple names were replaced with lesser quality images and verbose titles. The p90 one specifically is a good example. I could go through and edit the channel specific settings for channels I already know and like, but I fear I could then miss out on channels I have not seen before are. I feel like I would like this extension if there was maybe an option for affecting purely egregious forms of clickbait rather than almost anything that seems eye catching to someone.

Thank you!

Awesome addon, but I'd love to have an easier way to add a channel (or even a video) to the allowlist directly from the youtube page without having to open the settings in a separate tab.

Amazing extension. It basically transformed my YouTube into something that doesn't look like it's aimed for 5 year olds with a chronic clicking addiction. It genuinely reminds me of old YouTube... you know, back when it actually worked. However, right now it seems like on most pages, especially if there are a lot of videos on screen, it takes a second to load all the thumbnails and titles. It makes sense as it's fetching data from the server(s). But it does mean that your internet should be somewhat decent, and so does your CPU. Keep those things in mind. Fortunately, you can quickly turn the extension on and off to test things out.

It depends on users for its functionality so it can sometimes be a bit lackluster in title coverage. But mostly it works really well and gives to the point video titles.

It's good, but haven't tested it for too long. I use this extension as a back-up for videos with click-bait or sensationalized titles I want a alternative to, and do not use its titles and thumbnails as the default way to look at YouTube videos. The descriptive titles act more like titles to scientific papers in their betrayal of the contents of the video. It is of my opinion that titles of educational videos should be more descriptive and long. Artistic titles, and titles that have metaphors should have titles keep its integrity, and skits, artistic video strictly for non-informative entertainment shouldn't be changed.

But, a compromise should be reached for the people who think some ""REDDITORS'"" title changes are UNNECESSARY EARTH SHATTERING RUINING YouTube⸮, to these people I say look at your setting: "Behaviors > Default to Original Video Information" will make it opt-in, and you could only look at the DeArrow version when you want a more descriptive title. I also detest that asking users to pay for software that heavily relies on data hosted on a server is being called "shady", as you are normalizing developers being under funded enough to not be able to support their software. Servers cost money = server needs funding -> people unwilling to pay = hard to keep servers running/cost comes out of dev's pocket. With all of that out of the way, This is an biased review based on my use-case, but so was theirs, so now we get both sides of the coin.

A feature I personally think would be nice to add — but of course not mandatory — is a 70%-80% democratic vote for if a video is plagiarized, with a attached source to accompany it. This would greatly help push for more accountability within the "video essay" and "educational" online sphere.
