Just out of curiosity, how do you determine what is and isn't clickbait?
I'd like to know this as well. The extension looks super interesting, but how does it determine what to replace the thumbnail and title with?
Like the existing "Clickbait Remover" addon, I believe it just removes formatting (caps lock, exclamation marks, other symbols and emojis) of the video title and swaps the custom thumbnail with either a thumbnail of the beginning, middle or end of the video (youtube provides thumbnails for various points in videos).
