You know I never knew what DeArrow was but something I’ve always found annoying about YouTube is that when a title is long, the only way to read it is to open the video

You can also hover over the title to see the full thing. But this also got annoying since they start playing the video when you hover, so sometimes when you take too long it’ll mark the video as played. I honestly hate that hover play feature, who actually wants to watch a video from the start in that tiny ass window? The thing where they’d show some stills from several points in the video was much better imo.

I’ll watch entire videos and then leave before the last 20 seconds of bs is over and it won’t mark it as played for me and you’re out here having videos marked as played for just the preview player xD

My Android is my primary device so I don’t get the alt text. Also I feel like I’m letting you down, because so many times I will watch a video from the preview as I just want to watch the video silently and the only way to do that on mobile without messing with the whole systems volumes controls is the previews. 🥹

Jumping in:
Use a YT fork, you can customize it to some of your liking; Some come with SponsorBlock enabled right out of the box.
Yeah, I just click on video to check titles, unless you copy and paste yt url then go to a front-end website.
Or Louis Rossmann yt fork…

YouTube is increasingly dedicated to making the YouTube experience increasingly shittier, which is why I only use 3rd party clients (and also why I don’t pay for YT Premium, aside from no longer having a Google account at all).
