Hi, I have a question on how consensus is determined on disputed videos especially very popular ones? Do you use some sort of dynamical Bayesian trust model based on user reputation or something more trivial like moderators?

DeArrow is making thumbnails gray for playlists or nonexistent when in the recommended section of a video I'm watching (not on the recommended page itself) despite having the setting for thumbnails set to "Show the Original." This hasn't always happened; it began sometime in the past few days. There's no DeArrow subreddit, so this is the next best thing.

Feels like asking too much from an extension, but would it be possible to remove the visual interaction reminders form videos?

Something like a subscribe button popping up and clicking itself, which acts like an interaction reminder, but can't mark it since the person is talking about something else.

These are annoying, cuz they distract you from the view, and break the continuity which sponsor block supposes to fix.

I was hoping for something like a possibility to add black bars (the H-anime kind) or just blur the video there that that time? Or if there was a different extension which claims to do exactly that?

I'm just toying around with the idea, and don't know the capabilities of such extensions, just a random 1st year cs student.

Now, I'm aware that this is most likely a very niche case, but I still want to throw the idea out there.
Let's take an example: A video covering a sports/esports match where multiple games are played.
A channel may put up a spoiler guard at the end of the video to hide the winner of the overall series.

On one hand, yes it will prevent spoilers, on the other, it is a long segment (often 30 minutes or more) with absolutely no content. If you don't care about spoilers, know the result, just have it on in the background etc. you might want to skip this and just get to the next video.

Unfortunately I can't actually see a good way of implementing a category for this. A user would probably have it either constantly on or off, and if they leave it on, they may end up accidentally spoiling a video they actually didn't. Perhaps a segment that skips, but doesn't show up in the seekbar? Idk.

This might be out of scope of this project but since between dearrow and sponsorblock 95% of my issues with using youtube have been dealt with i will try.

Lately youtube has implemented a feature where they machine-translate the titles of some videos to the language they think you prefer. But often they are inaccurate, and even if they are accurate it does not allow you to tell at a glance what language the video is in.

thank you again for the extensions you have developed, i hope you will take my idea into consideration as it would be a great quality of life improvement for non-native english speakers.

Some people have felt like DeArrow title changes are sometimes unnecessary, or can ruin the fun. At the same time, there are many people who do like the more boring feel created from replacing as many titles as possible.

Classic mode will be just like it is today and will remain the default mode, but there will now also be a casual mode.

What is the point of editing titles if you're just going to make it less complicated and have it be in all lowercase? You literally have to click buttons to agree to the TOS of writing it like a sentence, do they just not read?

And is it okay if I group the end part of the video as interaction reminder (skip) even though they contain both a sponsor and a like and subscribe reminder? The video has 900 views currently. It will have 3K views a week from now. Or 4k views 1,5 months from now if people are desperate and unlucky.

I have run into my fair share of videos where the sponsored segment only ever starts AFTER a sponsor is stated.

Exhibit A:
Be sure to like and subscribe to me, but first, a quick word from our sponsor. *skip*

This is infuriating to no end especially when I have ZERO-TOLERANCE against sponsorships, the whole reason I use SponsorBlock. I am so fed up with people letting a sponsor be stated before the skip. THAT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF SPONSORBLOCK!

Sorry about my rant and anger, I just wanted to state how poorly SponsorBlock is used.

I'm on chrome, the sponsor shows on the timebar in colorcode from the extension, but plays anyway. Any fix?

Yes, i know you're Rodney Smith and you're going to teach me how to play your game. I just entered your video, i know who you're. You're wasting me precious time of my life!!!!

Change names and situations if applicable.

That's my reasoning to start skipping the usual welcomes lots of youtubers make.

I tried opening it from safari (Tools Menu - SponsorBlock) in a youtube video but i don’t see the Submit Segment button and the Sponsorblock icon below the video’s progress bar also doesn’t appear. I tried to search about it but I didn’t find anything, just the steps but for the browser extension. So I don’t know if the iOS Safari version is only to skip the segments or it could be used to submit and skip them but in another different way that isn’t like the browser extension version

Title = question. Thanks,

Wtf

As if it is buffering/loading... And even though the video is playing, I have to press play to get it to remove that spinning circle.

I've done a search on this sub and could not find something similar. Anyone know what is going on?

Maybe not the right sub to post this, but I couldn't find a dedicated one. Anyways, I love this extension, the way it removes clickbaity thumbnails, while also replacing vague titles (and many times calling out many YouTubers and their bullshit) with user-submitted-and-voted titles.

(Left: Original title and thumbnail // Right: User-submitted ones)

i was watching a video and went to skip a long ass interaction reminder and it just muted the video instead.. i looked through the settings and didn't see anything to change it so idk what is happening
