The creators of SponsorBlock did it again, now we can crowdsource better titles and thumbnails as well. I just tried it with LinusTechTips who is a worst offender when it comes to clickbait and its really great.

    I’m loving this and have contributed a bunch already, but one problem I’m noticing is people labeling things “reviews” on videos that are definitely not reviews, like impressions videos or unboxings.

      Interesting problem. I wonder if people will re-learn the correct terms over time when seeing other labeled submissions. I feel the word “review” has destroyed by a lot of YouTube channels.
