Man this creator keeps on giving, making YouTube better than Google does so

I did the opposite. I installed an addon that adds Mr Beast to every thumbnail.

I've used it for exactly three minutes and this is already amazing. I hope it gets integrated into ReVanced and Newpipe.

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.

But I don't want to reward people that do this by watching their videos

Love the idea, but just to be the devil's advocate, I think it will just mask garbage videos. Currently, the clickbait thumbnails and titles are an indicator to blacklist a channel, without having to waste time watching it.

Also be sure to get the restore YouTube dislike button extension

This add-on needs to:

• Store unlimited amount of client-side data
• Access your data for sites in the googlevideo.com domain
• Access your data for sites in the youtube.com domain
• Access your data for sponsor.ajay.app
• Access your data for dearrow-thumb.ajay.app
• Access your data for www.youtube-nocookie.com

This add-on may also ask to: **Access your data for all websites

Is there a better option than for it to need unlimited amount of client-side data? Also, why "Access your data for all websites"?-

Google's algorithm has forced people into using click bait thumbnails and titles. If they don't attract more views and subscribers, then their channels are not pushed.

There is also an extension that adds Mr Beast to every thumbnail

I kind of like seeing the clickbait, it lets me know which videos/channels arent worth my time. I know most use at least a little clickbait these days, but from the better channels its usually managable and still on topic (like the Real Engineering example shown here, whereas the others are complete clickbait that I would avoid).

.

I don't mind the clickbait as much because I've learned to filter the crap out to some degree (following F1 channels does that to a mf), but still, anything to keep the bullshit to a minimum.

This should be a part of newpipe.

I installed this app and looked up some Mr. Beast vids as a test. If anything, it made more tempted to check out his vids just because I don't have to see his annoying giant soyface in every thumbnail now.

I never thought it could be possible to do that, thank you so much for this and making YouTube a better place.

If someone knows how to get rid of shorts in the search results I'd be most grateful 👌

Can newpipe implement this please

We need this on Revanced too. Also on NewpipeXSponserblock.

Yeah but that reading rainbow thumbnail is fire

Basically an Adblocker for your brain... nice!

Tbf I can't think of any instance where Marques has click baited. At most they're just obnoxious. But it's been proven to work, as dumb as it is. Also Marques's thumbnails are nowhere near as cringe as other Youtubers.

While I wish the days of 2007-2013 YouTube returned to the non clickbait and non garbage thumbnails, those days are over. I'd rather have the obnoxious thumbnails so I know which creators are trash.

Man, I wish this is available for my TV..

If you label your videos as click bait trash, I'll treat it like click bait trash and not watch it.

I'm not going to install software to correct and support your shit behavior.

You can assume how good the inside content would be from a specific video by looking at its title and thumbnail. I'd rather not using it.
