Is dearrow actually good? Does it work for small streamers?

It often overcorrects, like not every shitpost really needs a title that sounds like a news article. But for some really clickbaity YouTubers (most) it makes the titles much more usable. The titles are submitted by users, so if the streamer is very small there might be no one to write the titles.

Tech Connections is a great example imo

"This 90s Microwave is Better Than Yours" is clickbait sure, but it's also literally the point of the video. It got corrected to something like "review of the Panasonic yadda yadda from 1996" and like, that's a less accurate title, guys, it's not actually a review of old kitchen stuff lol

Yeah, that is annoying. But for the "You won't BELIEVE what this microwave can do! 🤯🤯🤯" or worse the "This appliance from the 90s is going to REVOLUTIONIZE your kitchen!" at least become something that gives you some idea if you want to watch. Unfortunately some good videos are hidden behind shitty titles I otherwise wouldn't click.
Not technology connections obviously, their titles are fine.
