    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.

    And then there’s that extension that puts Mr. Beast’s signature clickbait grin on every thumbnail

    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.

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

          Kind of. It’s a desktop web front-end to Youtube. I’m not sure whether it blocks in-stream ads (and I’m not turning off Ublock to find out), but it does basically reimplement the Youtube interface without many of its undesired elements.

              I mean, you’re not necessarily wrong, but for some people that is kind of just the appeal. It’s very obviously targetted at a very niche group of people, and if you’re not in that, of course you’ll dislike it

              If you feel so strongly about the matter, feel free to not use it. Or better yet, contribute to the project to bring it up to feature parity.

              As for the link - I guess whatever parses the URLs on Lemmy doesn’t recognise .video as a valid top-level domain. All I wrote was piped.video, everything else was added by the website.

          More like Newpipe but it actually works (GURU MEDIATION) and has nice UI. I just found it yesterday on FDroid, I recommend it.

      Thanks, I didn’t know revanced was a thing. I only enjoyed old vanced for briefly in its last days. So good to hear theres still options like this around.

          Honestly ReVanced is quite a bit more extensible than Vanced and works very reliably. Plus it’s open source and you can download it off GitHub. The manager makes downloading patches about as easy as installing Vanced with the manager a few years ago. I’m sure someone will add a derrow patch to Revanced very soon

            I’ve used vanced and revanced since day one and always checked the stickied reddit post for any update notes before upgrading to the latest patch set. Revanced decided to migrate to Discord which is possibly the dumbest place they could have gone to (read: I don’t know how to use it to quickly find relevant patch notes and am angry about it), and I feel like updating to a new version is a crapshoot.

            Do you know of a better place to find out which versions are compatible with the latest APK and where to get support if something breaks?

              The Manager does a reasonable job identifying patches available for a given version. The Issues page on GitHub has a lot of the bugs laid out. The Releases tab also has the update notes and the website has the patch notes (including required version).

              On the Discord, #announcements has the major update info. #support acts quite a lot like the old Reddit page where people post issues they’ve run into with threaded replies. I agree having a ReVanced Lemmy page would be better than Discord but Discord Posts are shockingly usable imo. Chat and Off-Topic are obviously horrifically unsearchable chatrooms but also aren’t the only resources on the server.

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

    This really feels like another one of those bandwagon pet peeves, like Comic Sans, pineapple on pizza, or toilet paper orientation. Like, if it pisses you off so much, then don’t reward the creator by watching their video. In fact, the addon kind of defeats its own purpose by making you more likely to do just that.

      Sadly I don’t think boycotting clickbait channels is a solution at this point. First, because almost every Youtuber does it. Second, even if you boycott it, it will remain a shockingly effective strategy. Case in point, after installing this extension I was shocked as to how little I wanted to click on videos - clickbait works.

      Open YouTube in a private tab, and if you aren’t convinced click on the first MrBeast video you see, mute and let it play through then return to the homepage and see the results. Some creators are far worse than others, but the top .1% of channels are so insanely over the top with this

      More and more channels have been using this type of clicks ate, because if they do not then they get buried by the algorithm.

      There are lots of good channels that should be cleaned up.

        YouTube creator guidelines encourage clickbaiting because engagement means more ads being served. They also encourage begging for “like, subscribe, ring the bell and comment” in every video for the same reason.

        The algorithm burying other videos is just the side-effect. Non-clickbaity videos are still suggested if the engagement is high.

        I hate that the YouTube scheme works, it’s extremely unfriendly to both the consumers and the creators. But that’s how the world turns nowadays. My YouTube bookmark links to my subscriptions tab, so I never have to go to the main site.

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