je so 3 роки тому napisałVery recently, Tom Scott and CGP Grey have started going through their entire backlog and changing titles and thumbnails to be more attention grabbing and vague. Channels doing things like this are a heavy inspiration for this extension.
It's not just the Linus Tech Tips or the Mr Beasts of the world doing algorithm optimized titles and thumbnails now. Even really great channels like Tom Scott, CGP Grey, and Kurzgesagt are falling for the trap now.
And I don't blame them! That's what's needed to survive on the platform these days. It's a race to the bottom.
DeArrow hopes to solve this. DeArrow puts everyone on a level playing field. There is no race to the bottom since no one is allowed to be algorithmically optimized. It pauses the race, and let's the true best videos rise to the top.

je so 8 днів тому napisałAt the moment, sometimes the first recommended video will be blank. There is an update to fix this, but it is currently still being reviewed by Mozilla. You can install the beta version by clicking the "FirefoxSignedInstaller" on https://github.com/ajayyy/DeArrow/releases/tag/2.3 - Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Alise, 8 днів тому

- Z 1 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Jorb, місяць томуUsed to be amazing. Now with the latest Youtube changes it's very inconsistent. Most videos that use to have custom names and thumbnails no longer do, and only a few here and there still have them. The majority of videos also don't even allow you to submit new titles anymore, the textboxes to do so are absent.

je so 19 днів тому napisałHi, is this still happening to you? Could you send a screenshot to dev @ ajay.app - Z 1 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Samg381, 2 місяці томуThe payment scheme is as deceptive and scummy as the clickbait this extension seeks to fix. I have never seen something as bizarre as this.

je so 19 днів тому napisałDeArrow is a paid extension, but I understand not everyone wants to or can pay, so you can use it for free by clicking "I don't want to pay" or sending me an email for a free key
Or even using a good ole keygen website lol https://ashleygraves.eu/dearrow/ - Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Anderson, 2 місяці томуThis is so great! Thank you for making this and helping fight back against all the attention-grabbing. I love that the thumbnails can be set to just show a random screenshot from the video. It gives me a much better idea of what the video actually is rather than relying on the overly-clickbait-y thumbnails. The search results page feels much calmer (and actually reminds me of the early youtube days).
- Z 1 z 5 pohódnoćenywot penny, 2 місяці томуThe settings are not nearly granular enough for me to customize this experience to my liking, and the style that the community has decided to adopt is not *descriptive* it's *verbose*. Concise language, emotive language, evocative language are not bad things, inherently. Videos from some of my favorite channels were unrecognizable and significantly worse.
I wish I could say this could be solved by creating a "blacklist" mode, where only specific, named, egregious channels I select would have their titles and thumbnails replaced, but I installed this in order to scrub the obnoxious titles and thumbnails that Veritasium loves to use, but the community suggested replacement for one Veritasium video was so much *less* clear and descriptive than the original that it completely defeats the point.
I wasn't bothered by the request for payment, since it took me significantly less than the six hours of the free trial to realize this wasn't for me. Additionally, unlike some people, I recognize FOSS development is labor and deserves to be paid. I just wish people realized that also applied to those who script, film, edit, and design thumbnails for videos on Youtube.Wotmołwa wuwiwarja
je so 19 днів тому napisałSorry about that, unfortunately the titles aren't for everyone and can be too descriptive sometimes for sure. I suggest enabling "Default to Original Video Information" - Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Poligraf Poligrafovich Bouboulov, 2 місяці тому
- Z 1 z 5 pohódnoćenywot NonOfYourBiz, 2 місяці томуtrying to coax users to donate money, 'wait 12h until we activate it :)' and when you click 'i wanna pay but cant' it works right away.

je so 19 днів тому napisałIt's a paid extension, but I don't want to limit people who cannot or do not want to pay from using it. So, you can use it for free by clicking that you don't want to pay, or emailing me asking for a key :) - Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot mobile, 2 місяці томуI've used this extension everyday without noticing its effects, it probably has saved me a ton of time not getting duped by clickbaiters.

- Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Dark_Ronius, 3 місяці томуI didn't realise I needed this until I saw it as a feature in my Adfree Youtube app on my LG TV. I actually don't mind the arrow thumbnails, but I'm growing to really appreciate (and contribute to) the title swaps. The thumbnail swaps feel too obvious and ugly, but the Titles feel very transparent and get to the heart of what as video is about (this is I think personal preference, I guess I don't mind "sensational" imagery to grab my attention as long as the Title is descriptive) I find I'm both avoiding videos I have no interest in, but also actually finding new creators thanks to their "de-arrowed" video titles. You can re-arrow titles with a single click (I presume this does the same with thumbnails too).
The free activation took me about a day, and honestly now I've started using it think I will contribute, at the least I've already contributed with a few titles of my own. Your license also syncs with your Firefox Sync, which I was surprised about for the free license. - Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot R D, 3 місяці тому

- Z 1 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Ceirus, 4 місяці томуIt's not about the price, it's about the hassle. I can use a completely free extension that does the exact same thing and not have to worry about the hassle.

je so 4 місяці тому napisałHi, 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 - Z 2 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Aaaaa, 4 місяці томуFirefox mobile,latest version-doesnt work anymore(video titles doesnt change after enabling addon)

je so 4 місяці тому napisałHi, 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 - Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot dwouu, 4 місяці томуI 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.
