This sounds like a nice addon, sadly most of my YT consumption is done from my Nvidia Shield TV with STN, so I still get those annoying thumbnails I think (I have them in my home screen and that's where I watch them or add them to the list to watch later within the Shield menu).

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

Good thing I can already use uBlock to remove the jumpscare that is "verified badges."

clickbait no more

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.

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

Just like sponsor block this is only going to improve with time. Hopefully it gets integrated into revanced as well
