Downside: Because you’re hiding the problem it doesn’t tell the creator in any way that people don’t like “arrow face” type thumbnails and clickbait titles.
I also use it and it’s great, but… Yeah.

It changes titles and thumbnails to remove clickbait. Seeing the youtube homepage without it is genuinely jarring–everyone is clawing at your attention. “Pick me, pick me!”

It replaces the thumbnail with a more representative frame from the video (voted by users). The ‘arrow’ was in reference to a trend where people would put a big red arrow pointed at some shit as clickbait. This is meant to stop clickbait
