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.

I might get it for the titles alone. The clickbaity thumbnails don't really bother me, but I'd like to have a good title at least.

Yeah the titles are actually a huge draw for me.
