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

It's pretty telling a platform like YouTube really only gets fully enjoyable with an adblocker, sponsorblock and this. I wish PeerTube had a lot of good creators, but last time I checked (years ago, admittedly) it was mostly conspiracy theorists and cryptobros.

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.

There is a reason clickbait images and titles are used, they work. If they didn't work, no one would use them.

You must think marketing is made of infallible geniuses. Just because it exists doesn't make it good.

They didn’t say it was good, just that it’s what works; that’s why it’s everywhere.

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.
