Sponsor Block is one of the essential YouTube plugins. Thanks to that I don’t know half of these companies.

What’s dearrow? Downsides?
Show threadsorrybookbrokeFeb 4
It replaces the thumbnail with a more representative frame from the video (voted by users). The ‘arrow’ was in reference to a trend where people would put a big red arrow pointed at some shit as clickbait. This is meant to stop clickbait

Thanks, downloaded and bought it. Happy to pay for good software.

It changes titles and thumbnails to remove clickbait. Seeing the youtube homepage without it is genuinely jarring–everyone is clawing at your attention. “Pick me, pick me!”

Downside: Because you’re hiding the problem it doesn’t tell the creator in any way that people don’t like “arrow face” type thumbnails and clickbait titles.

I also use it and it’s great, but… Yeah.

It’s funny that DeArrow has lead to me watching more videos with super click bait titles. It’s almost as if actually using the content for the title instead of some vague notion or off content question is more likely to pick a video to watch.

I know there’s a reason channels do it but this is just my experience.

I love sponsor block, it works pretty much flawlessly apart from when YouTube recommends me a video from literally 30 seconds ago, which is surprisingly often that I can now count it on 2 hands as of the last time I got a scarily new video on my feed,

another option is to exclusively watch small youtube channels

God forbid someone gets popular and starts making money off of their passion!

This is Lemmy. You were required to hate on anything that makes money or anyone attempting to monetize anything.

Everything must be free.

as much as I love self-hosting it does get f****** over the top with how up their own ass. A lot of people around here are.

This, plus the “anti-imperialism” which goes so far anti western imperialism that it goes round to being pro russian imperialism.

It’s like a clown show here sometimes.

That’s the bit I hate the most about YouTube premium. You still have ad! What’s the fucking point is I have to get adblock for sponsors.

Drop every single add, including embedded and we can have a discussion.

I’m not going to be paying anyway though
