troch random user, 6 moannen lynAwkward semi-paid scheme, especially for a crowdsourced project. That alone makes me not want to contribute since the dev might at an point decide to remove access.
The replaced thumbnails are very hit and miss. Replacing clickbait is one thing, but this extension just want to replace all of them indiscriminatingly, removing useful information. Quite a bit are literally just replaced with blank images or other junk...

ien moanne lyn pleatstHi, clickbait remover is another extension that you are free to use if you want. It has different features though and does not have any crowdsourcing - Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch Aaaaa, ien moanne lynFirefox mobile,latest version-doesnt work anymore(video titles doesnt change after enabling addon)

ien moanne lyn pleatstHi, this will be fixed in 2.2.1. It might take up to two weeks for the update to be reviewed by Mozilla, but you can download the beta here: https://github.com/ajayyy/DeArrow/releases/tag/2.2.1 - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch dwouu, ien moanne lynI haven't found any corrected titles which are flat-out wrong, and if I see inaccuracies I fix them instead of leaving a bad review :). FYI - you do NOT have to pay to use this at all! Just wait the 24 hours and you're good to go.

- Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 18372070, 2 moannen lynInteresting premise, but a lot of times the thumbnails/titles are objectively worse than the original thumbnails/titles. This isn't the add-on author's fault, though. But it's enough for me to not want to use this add-on.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 19567959, 2 moannen lynI love dearrow, it's just so great how everyone contributes to help making youtube a better place.
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 18965671, 2 moannen lynCausing issues since 2.1.11 and the dev is no help in even asking for a shred of information to try and fix the issue. I highly do NOT recommend downloading this as if you have ANY issue you will NOT get any help trying to fix it.
Edit: "When someone spams my email..." 4 days went by with no response, then I gave some information I thought would be useful and thought I had found the issue, to which I closed my issue post on your github page. 6 full days went by until the issue popped up again, where I reopened the issue. I mentioned something I noticed when moving the tab/window playing a YT video and 3 more full days went by without a word. That's spam to you? You've got a very skewed definition of the word "spam" if that's how you think...Antwurd ûntwikkeler
ien moanne lyn pleatstWhen someone spams my email, I am a lot less interested in spending time helping them out. I am always happy to help people who are respectful - Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch Taw, 2 moannen lynI installed it and am using it to replace a much better addon that is no longer updated. I only care about two features: changing the case of titles and replacing thumbnails with video frames.
I have a couple problems with DeArrow:
Similar to SponsorBlock, the crowdsourced nature of it makes it very unreliable. There are many cases of overly opinionated user submissions that conflict with the original material in one way or another.
There are settings to remove the crowdsource functionality and make it work the way I described above, but getting it to do that wasn't very easy and required some hoops to be jumped through.
The much bigger set of hoops is the process of getting to use the addon. You cannot use the addon for free, and the description is misleading.
To get access you need to first click a button to decline paying, then you need to apply for free access, you do not get free access immediately, so you have to start your short free trial. My trial expired before I was granted free access. I was very tempted to uninstall the plugin at every step of this way, and the experience means I will never donate.
I understand the desire to make money off this, but this attitude sucks when it actively and very successfully disrupts the usability of the tool. I am not recommending it to other people. Will drop it if I ever make my own addon to replace the old clickbait remover, or find an alternative.
Maybe this is petty and vindictive, but I'm so tired of all the bullshit and lack of groovy attitudes.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
ien moanne lyn pleatstThe goal is to make an add-on that anyone can use for free if they want to, instead of paywalling it. Anyone can request free access to use DeArrow for free, no questions asked, because I think that's the right thing to do.
At the same time, people buying DeArrow is how I pay my rent, so I appreciate anyone who chooses to do so. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Josy, 2 moannen lyn
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch den, 2 moannen lynThis makes YouTube SO MUCH BETTER! Videos I would never click on are made way more interesting now that I can actually see what they're about. Every YouTuber feels the need to oversimplify their thumbnails and titles to make it more "clickable", but for some of us, that has the opposite effect. Thank you for making the YouTube experience better.
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch LongRamen, 2 moannen lynplease update it to work with the recent new youtube layout! the button to show/hide the replaced thumbnail/title now moves around when you try to click it, very annoying
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 19494893, 3 moannen lynThis is an essential extension if you are an avid Youtube user.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Ishu, 3 moannen lynI soo badly wants to support u but alas don't have a credit card or paypal. I will support u one day though when I get a job soon. Take care brother and thanks.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 14230878, 4 moannen lynNowadays I consider this a mandatory extension. YouTube without it is painful to my eyes. Thank you to Ajay for making this extension, it is a gem.

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Hannibal, 4 moannen lynFantastic! Improved titles help inform me what I'm >actually< going to see if I click rather than the sensationalized bunk that has become so common for good & bad channels alike.
