If it's a YouTube vid with a thumbnail like that, there's a 99% chance that either I don't need to know this, or it contains about one minute of information in an eleven minute video

Basically, Google trying to kill adblockers internet wide via containing addons in restrictive containers. Firefox and anything branched off of it are the only browsers not jumping on. Google apparently starting it up now with V3

come on, Brodie is not that bad

ps (i can't remember whos channel i saw this on) If you have 2 videos with the same content and the same title but one has that style of thumbnail, the one with that style of thumbnail will get promoted by the algorithm. If I remember correctly it was something huge on the engagement

DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

And this takes more time than the wasted time on information in such videos

I'm not disagreeing with you, but this video style is only meant to discuss the issue, not simply tell people exactly what's happening and end it at that. But I see your point, and I've noted it: I'll make sure I share more quick and to-the-point video's when I do in the future.
