~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~
~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~
~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~
~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

I use DeArrow basically exclusively for LTT.
For those who don't know it, that's a crowd-sourced youtube title replacement script, intended to purge the platform from clickbait. Made by the same devs behind the SponsorBlock addon.

I tried it but it slows down loading YouTube in Firefox too much ale it's not as kept up as I would like it to. Out of my subscriptions only LTT and Tom Scott videos are ever maintained in there.
Yeah those are the 2 where I see it most as well. And Tom Scott isn't even that clickbaity.
I use it too but find it isn't kept up by the community nearly as much as sponsor block
