DeArrow - Bättre titlar och miniatyrer på YouTube av Ajay (SponsorBlock)
Recension av Dishater
Betygsatt 3 av 5
av Dishater, för 10 månader sedanLet's get this out of the way, this doesn't remove clickbait. There's too many channels posting garbage by the second for new titles to be submitted and the De-Arrow user count is a fraction of SponsorBlock's.
What this actually does is remove sensationalism from channels that people watch regularly. Sometimes to an asinine degree. (ha i know big word)
"The city with a hundred private cable cars" is a video from Tom Scott. A De-Arrow user changed this to "Wellington has over one hundred private cable cars". For some reason I guess "this city" was deemed too sensational or vague, so adding the city name and a slight rewording makes it less so?
Another Tom Scott example, "Things are changing at the world's oldest hotel" becomes "Modernization of a Japanese hotel that is technically the world's oldest operating business". Okay, an example of a title that's actually de-sensationalized by a user, but now it's longer than needed and over-descriptive. Many titles are like this, if the De-Arrow community made a restaurant menu, common delicacies would include "Not actually French potato fries" and "Ground beef patty sandwiches with vegetables, condiments, and cheese in soggy buns".
De-Arrow has a voting system where you can dislike or like submitted elements and submit your own, but the Tom Scott examples above are submitted and locked by VIPs.
What's a VIP? Well, someone with insider access who can submit titles/thumbnails and no amount of dislikes or voting can displace their locked submissions. Currently, there's no way to apply for VIP status, it's strictly for the coolest of dudes. I'd be fine with VIPs getting an voting boost based on their status, but not being able to vote on these titles is stupid. This isn't SponsorBlock, where a Sponsor segment can be objectively correct based on start/end time, someone may be able to summarize the info into something better, like "Modernization of the oldest operating hotel".
Filler tangent/jokes aside, I'd still recommend De-Arrow to display auto-generated or user-submitted thumbnails, I don't have much to complain about there other than thumbnails sometimes not loading when enabled. For title replacement, you can use the "channel allowlist" so selected channels use custom blocking settings, although some visual issues occur on YouTube when both whitelisting and blacklisting, keep that in mind.

postad för 10 månader sedanAs for the second part of your review about "VIP" locked titles, we have partially resolved this by having now allowing them to submit segments as normal users for when it seems better to leave it up to votes. We also have a channel that logs downvoted "VIP" locked titles to fix if there are issues.

postad för en månad sedanSubmissions from new users have been restricted because someone is automatically creating many bots and sending malicious titles across youtube. We are working to slowly allow newer users to submit again - Betygsatt 5 av 5av klementine des pêches, för 2 månader sedan
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av SimoX9, för 2 månader sedanIt's paid, there is no option to use it free, the description is lying, best you get is 'free' 6 hours before it lockes you from using it..

- Betygsatt 2 av 5av Firefox-användare 15998822, för 3 månader sedanWeird plug in that doesn't really work until you figure out if the author wants to be paid or not. It's only $1 (I think), and offers the option of just either having a trial or using it for free, but neither of the last options worked.
I'm sure this is a great idea, but I couldn't get it to work to check if I liked it. Just make it paid for or not please, I don't want to have to faff about trying to get it to work. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av ramiel, för 3 månader sedan
- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Morgoz, för 3 månader sedanWorks great with English content however since it is crowdsourced when it's not popular in certain countries or certain languages it's really hard to find an usage. Still, a great extension for English YouTube videos.
- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Firefox-användare 15145534, för 3 månader sedanJust miss a miscellaneous tab (like sponsorblock has) where we can ad other domains to use it (invidious). But works great with youtube.
- Betygsatt 5 av 5av tanh, för 3 månader sedanYouTube is a steaming pile of crap unfit for human consumption without DeArrow and SponsorBlock (and uBlock Origin).
- Betygsatt 2 av 5av asid, för 3 månader sedanfrustrating. most titles / thumbnails are either verbose / useless or don't change at all. picking titles or thumbnails (both of which you have to do after already clicking on the video) does nothing 90% of the time and reverts after it does work, probably because majority vote matters more than your own, rather than just being the default used.

- Betygsatt 4 av 5av RaphGL, för 4 månader sedanAwesome, this and sponsorblock are literally making youtube less of a clickbait hellscape
Only gave 4 stars because it lacks the community sponsorblock has and the UI is a bit finicky, it definitely needs to be improved. Once the community is there, this extension will be much more useful since we can better rely on the voting system and be able to overwrite most videos out there more easily. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av baller, för 4 månader sedanAjay my man, made Dearrow 100% free without having to beg via email for russians :heart:
