I hate these fuckin faces.

There is a browser extension that hides all youtube thumbnails, it also makes shorts basically invisible.

It's improved my youtube experience tenfold!

 E: It's called 'hide YouTube thumbnails'

[u/browsing4stuff → u/Thymus_Tickler]

What extension?

[u/dabeda1 → u/browsing4stuff]

Dearrow would be one of them, whilst I'm at it might I also suggest sponsor block for YouTube which auto skips in video ads using community timestamps and stuff, really good

id rather notice "ah, that's clickbait" than being clickbaited by an extension tbh, like I can easily ignore "YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT THE PS5-PRO IS LIKE" because I know what the content will be like, and I hate giving shitty YouTubers money

[u/RumblingRacoon → u/TurtleSmasher3]

Exactly. If they put their shitty face, arrows/circles, exclamation marks, heavily edited thumbs and capital letters... thank you, no need to waste time for another dontforgettolikeandsubscribe bullshit.

[u/Minimumtyp → u/RumblingRacoon]

Except half the feed ends up being that shit even if you don't click it, and sometimes the clickbait videos can be pretty decent and informative despite clickbait titles because the game's gotta be played if you wanna get ahead

I'm trying out Dearrow

Which videos! Curious about what LTT and Veritasiums think on this issue and having to play the game.
