DeArrow - Better Titles and Thumbnails on YouTube автор Ajay (SponsorBlock)

від Bobby, 3 роки томуEDIT: I'm curious why the developer has intentionally decide to get the extension to make changes where no changes are required - especially since it provides a worse user experience with YouTube. They haven't explained the licencing...
-------------------
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?

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 :)

- Оцінка 5 з 5від ChickyKnight118, 6 днів томуGreat addon if people contribute to it! also, i noticed that most of the one star reviews are about it being payed, it is soft-walled, so you don't actually have to pay. just click "I cant/Wont pay" or use this key: FgNKa-17de0
- Оцінка 4 з 5від sw4usgeb0uwen, 6 днів томуIt's fun and useful/good for the brain, but it has had at least one period where it just didn't work - having it enabled would stop any youtube video from loading.
Not quite as useful as sponsorblock which i think the creator also made. Submission menu could do with some work - Оцінка 5 з 5від Kamik, 7 днів тому

оприлюднено місяць томуIt is pay what you want, you can use it for free by clicking "I don't want to pay"
or using this key: FgNKa-17de0- Оцінка 3 з 5від a real guy honest, 2 місяці томуLove the idea but literally not a single video on my page had any submitted titles for it. My advice is to use AI to summarise the video into a title and put that in your database rather than relying on ONLY crowdsourcing.

- Оцінка 1 з 5від Користувач Firefox 20013628, 2 місяці томуNo activation button available, only trial for 6 hours. So every 6 hours i have to reactivate it, essentially replacing one annoyance with another.
Yea, I'm never paying for this, would've considered it if it just flat out said it's a paid extension, which it is.Відповідь розробника

Intresting concept, so the money you make, do you give it to people who actually keep this garabge running? Oh no you dont, because you totally did all of the work! Like no one else on this planet was willing to do it for free, just another cancer

оприлюднено 3 місяці томуThis extension has a soft-paywall, you can use it for free by clicking "I can't/don't want to pay"
The code is released under the GPL license for anyone to use as see fit
Just like with SponsorBlock, the entire database of submisisons is published at https://sponsor.ajay.app/database under a creative commons license - Оцінка 1 з 5від dysfun, 3 місяці томуapparently wants to force me to activate it before it'll work at all, except the activation button is just flat out missing. waste of time.

- Оцінка 5 з 5від mark100, 4 місяці томуOne of the best YouTube extensions out there.
It's up there with Sponsor block and UBlock Origin.
It's very time saving, especially when browsing through your recommendations page (it makes your digest more productive.)
Most of these big tech channel videos are frequently summarized into a small sentence.
I've found it most useful for tech videos (as most custom titles lie here)
The feature where it shows a random screenshot of the video in the thumbnail is amazing, it helps me preview videos that are obviously AI generated.
I love this extension, and I suggest others to contribute to the project by:
buying the product - it's only $1 !!!
donating to the developer.
source thumbnails and titles yourself to help expand the project!
share it with your friends.
the only problem I have with it, is that it isn't popular enough, making custom titles quite rare in normal feeds. - Оцінка 5 з 5від Користувач Firefox 18414040, 4 місяці тому
