Really good extension, I've added it to my browser.
While some creators like Linus have said they dislike the clickbaity titles and thumbnails but they have to do it due to engagement that's simply because the younger generations are the ones engaging with that content. As an older person I'd rather just have a to the point description of what I'm going to get.
There is a reason clickbait images and titles are used, they work. If they didn't work, no one would use them.
You must think marketing is made of infallible geniuses. Just because it exists doesn't make it good.
They didn’t say it was good, just that it’s what works; that’s why it’s everywhere.
