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

Just out of curiosity, how do you determine what is and isn’t clickbait?

I’d like to know this as well. The extension looks super interesting, but how does it determine what to replace the thumbnail and title with?
