But this will make me stop clicking on 6 different videos before I find one I like... Where's the fun in that?

clickbait no more

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.

I think i'm okay with NewPipeXSponsorBlock or Freetube, but for straight up YouTube, this is good stuff.

Doesn’t it really matter if the title is click baity if the content is worth watching. It generates revenue for the content creator so I feel like I’d rather them have what works than a cleaner title.
