Can vouch this extension is amazing. I started using it when it had 200 chrome downloads and it was already had many prominent creators in its database.
Title and thumbnail replacements are based on community votes, just like sponsorblock.

But now you don't know if it's click baity or not and will click it to watch.
Is this available as a vanced patch aswell?
Not yet, but hoping it is in the future. Also did just check because Sponsorblock from the same dev is available.

I went to install it but realised it's already among the 30 or so extensions I have to make the web bearable. Does that happen to anyone else?

Wo a new extension worthy of installation, the last time that happened was a years ago, Channel Blocker. Feels like an ongoing battle with yt, to make it viewable to a human rather than it's own bots.

This is awesome. Just installed it.
This is awesome, installing it right now.
Crowdsourced?
Would be nice to get a random frame of the video instead of the actual thumbnail..

I just thought about giving it a try then remembered that 99.9% of my time on YT is through the Android app (ReVanced to be precise) and TV (YT AdFree on LG TV)

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).
On firefox youtube videos take a long time to load, they'll play for a bit and then buffer. Without this extension youtube works fine on chrome. I guess this extension is in beta stage, needs to be polished more.
Considering it's from the same person behind sponsorblock, I'm positive future updates will fix this issue..
Edit: Seems I was using old version, just updated the extension as developer said they'd fixed the above issue in new version. So far so good, now videos are playing fine on firefox..
But this will make me stop clicking on 6 different videos before I find one I like... Where's the fun in that?
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.
