    Tech Connections is a great example imo

    “This 90s Microwave is Better Than Yours” is clickbait sure, but it’s also literally the point of the video. It got corrected to something like “review of the Panasonic yadda yadda from 1996” and like, that’s a less accurate title, guys, it’s not actually a review of old kitchen stuff lol

      Yeah, that is annoying. But for the “You won’t BELIEVE what this microwave can do! 🤯🤯🤯” or worse the “This appliance from the 90s is going to REVOLUTIONIZE your kitchen!” at least become something that gives you some idea if you want to watch. Unfortunately some good videos are hidden behind shitty titles I otherwise wouldn’t click.
      Not technology connections obviously, their titles are fine.

      It’s been a while since I watched his videos, looks like my day off is planed out.

      Yeah, I’d really prefer something that supplements the titles rather than replacing them. If the title asks a question or is deliberately vague about a particular piece of information then a plugin that provided the answer (while still leaving the original title and thumbnail in place) could be useful, but as it is I shut off dearrow after a few minutes. It was just making things worse.
