DeArrow - A Browser Extension that removes clickbait titles and thumbnails
(dearrow.ajay.app)
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
This isn't tv or a movie, you have a lot more competition on youtube. People will not leave a theatre, and tv is most of the time just background noise. But people will click out of a video fast. On youtube, everytimes you leave a two seconds blank, you loose a significant part of your audience. And with LTT posting 5 videos a day, of course they can't learn everything to make perfect shots when they can just cut it and appear more dynamic.
LTT is a company with more than 100 employees, they have professionnal who spend their life in analytics to make the best performing videos. That means epileptic editing with cut and effect every few seconds. And shitty thumbnail and title which I will gladly replace with this extension from now on.
