Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 3 ansDo you maybe have another extension that modifies YouTube titles like "YouTube Anti-Translate" or "Clickbait Remover"? - Noté 1 sur 5par DezTheDapper, il y a 3 ansIt has removed all the titles from videos, disabling this addon alone and refreshing the page has fixed the issue. Once this has been resolved I will remove this review.

mis en ligne : il y a 3 ansSounds like the replacement titles aren't properly loading in. Can you send an email to dev @ ajay.app so I can and help debug the issue?
Potential solutions:
- Uninstall and reinstall
- Try visiting https://sponsor.ajay.app to make sure the domain is not blocked by your network - Noté 5 sur 5par Bartolomey, il y a 3 ansБыла проблема с активацией (ошибка на моей стороне).
Расширение работает великолепно.
Разработчик быстро ответил и помог. Спасибо!

mis en ligne : il y a 3 anshey, could you email me at dev @ ajay.app since AMO only allows one reply.
Do you maybe have javascript disabled in your browser? It should work even in that case, but there was an issue like that in the past that looked like that. - Noté 5 sur 5par Kosro, il y a 3 ans

There was a misunderstanding - Noté 1 sur 5par make it stop, il y a 3 ans
- Noté 5 sur 5par Tre_brock, il y a 3 ansAmazing extention. Removed so much clickbait. Goes perfectly with sponsorblock and ublock origin. bought it for 2 or 3 bucks on my iphone a few months ago and lost my key after i moved to an andriod and the dev gave me a new one :).
- Noté 5 sur 5par Hayden, il y a 3 ansExactly what I have been looking for! Thank you Ajay for creating this extension. I use Youtube daily for work and hobbies: I find the click-baity titles vague, and the "shock face" thumbnails frustrating and gimmicky. 'DeArrow' addresses these issues in an elegant way. Very happy to purchase and support this extension

Note for the developer: it would be good if you could give back to the collaborators by giving them free usage of the extension. - Noté 5 sur 5par hexioum, il y a 3 ans

-------------------
People needlessly change titles and thumbnails for no reason, not to mention they do so incorrectly most of the time.
Eg.
Titles: brand and product names have a specific capitalization set by the brand and product owners but people will change it to something else. People will also randomly capitalize random words in the title.
Thumbnails: thumbnails show exactly what the video is about and they use the correct words to describe it exactly. People will change it to a random thumbnail.
If people can't get the fundamentals right, then why would i trust the extension to actually correct a misleading/clickbait title and thumbnail.
Like SponsorBlock, there is no quality control. Anyone can submit any garbage and everyone else just has to put up with it. There is no method to hide submissions by those who submit garbage.
Furthermore, why does the extension require a paid licence?! People contribute towards the extension for free. Are you seriously planning to do a rug pull on those that add value to the extension.
Sure you're giving out free licences right now, but when will that change?Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 3 ansResponse to edit:
The defaults are chosen in the way that I, and many others, like to use the extension. They are on the aggressive side, but that's why I made the extension so customizable. There are numerous options to turn down the aggressiveness, and you can configure all of these options per channel to be able to be aggressive with some channels, but less aggressive with others.
People have different opinions on what they like, I personally like all titles auto formatted and having all thumbnails replaced.
About the license, there will always be a free option, and all license keys are unlimited use, so you can use them on new devices and you can even share it with your friends.
I promise to never remove this, and I wouldn't want to do this anyway, as I want as many people to using DeArrow as possible, as that's how crowdsourced extensions works.
The soft-ish paywall acts as an aggressive donation barrier convincing a few people to donate, but still allowing everyone else to use the extension with all it's features just like anyone else. It is not meant to restrict who is using the extension. Only a certain amount of people need to pay to make it work.
Thanks to the paywall system, I am now earning enough money that I will be able to work on SponsorBlock and DeArrow full time when I graduate school in January and I am very much looking forward to that :)
Original Response:
I think you are misunderstanding some parts of the extension. The things you are talking about are not human submissions, but configurable automatic systems enabled by default.
By default, it auto-formats titles if no user submission exists. These are not submitted by users, but an automatic formatting system. You can change how this auto-formatting works in the options and also disable it.
By default, it shows a random screenshot from the videos from thumbnails if there is no human submission. You can also configure this in settings if you don't like that behavior, or disable thumbnail replacements altogether if that's not your thing.
Lastly, it is not possible for me to "rug-pull", as the code is open source under a copy-left license, and the database is publicly downloadable, and several other people are actively mirroring this data.
Hope that makes things clearer :)
