I got tired of seeing clickbaity thumbnails and wondered if I would be happier without them at all. I added ytimg.com to my blacklist as a wildcard about a month ago and I’ve found that I use the website more deliberately than before. And it works on the YouTube app for Android and my smart TV!

If you don’t want to block it for every device on the network you can add it to the Group Management lists as well.

    But… There is invidio.us for that! It’s a lot better, I’m honest.

      I suggest a client like Newpipe and Freetube, but one is bloated and for Android and the other one is low featured and based on Electron.

        Newpipe isn’t bloated, why would you say so?

        I think a YDL client would be much better for it. I think a KDE client works like that, but is outdated.
