This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
BlockTube can block videos based on keywords
This guy is doing God's work 🙌
awesome! It's available for firefox based browsers!
great extension but slows down YouTube loading a lot :(
Marques Brownlee was that guy fervently saying the Samsung S22 fake moon filter wasn't a fake moon filter. What a shill.
And then there's that extension that puts Mr. Beast's signature clickbait grin on every thumbnail
Yooo that's so cool! I'm already using SponsorBlock for in-video stuff, uBlock Origin for the around the video stuff, and a Thumbnail remover (can't recall the name rn). But I think this is even better, because just the first or middle frame of a video isn't exactly capturing the essence of that video.
Clickbait remover uses YouTube’s auto generated ones, which while are seemingly random, are not. They use some algorithm to target faces in exaggerated expressions.
DeArrwow uses actually random ones (and then a user can submit specific timestamps if there is a better one). It’s noticeable better on many channels imo. It also let's us do things like make sure the random thumbnail is not in a sponsor using SponsorBlock data
(I made DeArrow)
That's a great idea!
Oog yes
Fuck, this is awesome. Great idea!
Fantastic!
Oh oh I wish this was available for Safari too
Does anyone know how to convert this into a Userscript? I use Userscripts (a Tampermonkey reimplementation for Safari) and I did not get it to work.
This feels like, IMHO, trying to put out a forest fire with a single bucket of water. Instead, we should have a platform that does not encourage making titles and thumbnails completely unrelated to the video's content.
Thanks for sharing!
