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.

Interesting problem. I wonder if people will re-learn the correct terms over time when seeing other labeled submissions. I feel the word "review" has destroyed by a lot of YouTube channels.

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!

Can this get rid of those horrible thumbnails "get rid of skin tags with this one weird trick!"

[–] Eigengrau@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

You can just use uBlock Origin for that

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Regular uBlock takes care of those.

Youre right, thank you :)
