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

That seems cool. I’ll definitely try that out, thanks for sharing!

Already using sponsor block and that saved me quite a bit of time!

I’m loving this and have contributed a bunch already, but one problem I’m noticing is people labeling things “reviews” on videos that are definitely not reviews, like impressions videos or unboxings.

I tried it. It works well. But, I don’t think I will use it, because I usually know YouTubers to avoid when it comes to clickbaiting. Looking at you, Scotty Kilmer. :)

If this ever gets ported for NewPipe and/or LibreTube it’ll be sensational

The fact that it exists makes me happy :]

When it removes the entirety of LTT from YouTube it will worth a try. There isn’t much in this world that makes me seethe but that plonker is one.

I kinda like LTT materials, especially with Anthony but this extension is a godsend as I always hated their crappy thumbnails and titles.

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn’t aware of that.

I get that people can find him annoying, but that plonker’s video on dashcams actually helped me make a properly informed choice that literally saved me hundreds of dollars AND ensured I got something that actually had higher fidelity recording than many devices multiple times its price.
