I love Dearrow so much. Makes using YT so much better.

It’s funny how much it changes Linus Media Group’s titles and thumbnails because of how incredibly click baity and disingenuous they are. Like, it might change “Billion Dollar Super Computer Mega Build!” to “Building A Water Cooled Server Rack.” The first might be true at a stretch from a certain point of view but the second is literally what they’re doing.

For me its a bit mixed. Maybe "Building a Water Cooled Server Rack for ". Its a title after all and should be somewhat unique. Dearrow can sometimes hurt this uniqueness in my case.
