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

There’s unfortunelately a good reason for them to keep doing it; it works

Exactly. I watch a lot of YouTubers who don’t really like having to make clickbait, but it’s the algorithm that promotes it, so they need to conform to what works.
