Doesn’t it really matter if the title is click baity if the content is worth watching. It generates revenue for the content creator so I feel like I’d rather them have what works than a cleaner title.
This sounds like a nice addon, sadly most of my YT consumption is done from my Nvidia Shield TV with STN, so I still get those annoying thumbnails I think (I have them in my home screen and that's where I watch them or add them to the list to watch later within the Shield menu).
clickbait no more
Just like sponsor block this is only going to improve with time. Hopefully it gets integrated into revanced as well
funny. if the creator used the right side for the xenphone I might click on it.
Pretty useful
awesome! It's available for firefox based browsers!
This guy is doing God's work 🙌
Really good extension, I've added it to my browser.
While some creators like Linus have said they dislike the clickbaity titles and thumbnails but they have to do it due to engagement that's simply because the younger generations are the ones engaging with that content. As an older person I'd rather just have a to the point description of what I'm going to get.
Thanks for sharing!
I think i'm okay with NewPipeXSponsorBlock or Freetube, but for straight up YouTube, this is good stuff.
This extension is awesome thank you
Thanks for posting about this extension! It's a very welcomed addition to make YouTube more bearable.
hey that's cool
Maybe a feature request, but is there an addon that just blocks videos with shitty thumbnails or all caps? Might make the front page almost presentable.
If this extension could just hide those videos as an option, or at least flag them it might make browsing better.
nice, good to see an adblocker for clickbaits
