    This is great for making your feed more bearable. The only issue is it will also make the actual clickbait videos with trash content look legit, therefore making it hard to avoid them.

    My first impression: nah, why alter the creators intention… But actually, this works really great. From my subs not that many videos get dearrowed, but the homepage and suggestions do feel different. Great extension, thanks!

      That’s true. It is open source. You could just modify the code to not do the validation check. And then install the extension that way.

      It could get forked and maintained by another group that maintains a separate database.

      I’m on the fence about this monetization model, running a database hit by thousands or millions of browsers is going to cost money. We’ll see if the project remains a success
