I can advise anyone to install DeArrow.

Instead of having every thumbnail screaming at me, YouTube is now much calmer in general. Even the clickbait titles are replaced by crowdsourced alternatives.

No more "TOP 5 Reasons Why You SHOULD use/not use something ❌❌/✅✅", but "review of something" instead.

    I have a different approach, for me the idiotic title is a red flag that I shouldn't watch the video in the first place. But for thumbnails it seems like the only way to survive on youtube is to make a youtube face in thumbnail pointing at something, even the respectable and interesting channels are doing it

    YouTube made changes, and the YouTube reps who deal with creators have given them marching orders that they need to follow or else no money. Every one of the creators I sub has dedicated a video to how things have to be now, and they know we hate it, and they hate it. But there's nothing they can do because YouTube is their source of income.

    I'm torn cause I use smart tube & revanced to avoid ads, but I really want something like this but not enough to deal with the bullshit 3-5 ads every five minutes.

    Try patching with the latest build, that's what normally works for me.

    Yeah it kept collapsing on the build for whatever reason, I moved to newpipe or pipepipe or something.

    Miss the sponsorblock

    There should be a version of newpipe that also has sponsorblock, not fully sure though.

    The collapsing thing is weird tho, oh well good to see you got newpipe working cuz that's the thing I myself couldn't get too work when I tried it a couple of months ago haha.
