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

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.

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

The fact that it exists makes me happy :]

I’ve been using it for a few days. Some occasional loading delays but it’s been great. Thanks!

This extension is free, forever, for anyone who installs it during the beta. Yes, that means there will be a paywall for new users only in the future, but I promise that there will still be a way to for people to get free access. Of course the extension will always remain fully open source, with a publicly downloadable database, just like SponsorBlock.

I’m a bit confused what this means / will mean. A paywall but also still alternative free access?

Where are you quoting this from? I could not find any information about a paywall.

mh, I can’t find it anymore either. Pretty sure it was on the website, on the main or about page. I was on various other pages looking for contribution info too though. Maybe it changed? Maybe it’s now considered t obe out of beta?

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!
