I’m sure these freak events really happened, but it seems irresponsib(ru)le to make people feel like this might happen to them, just for views

Update: I have hidden channel names in the interest of letting people know this is criticizing the tr(ul)end, and not any specific YouTubers

Edit: If you’re here to discuss any particular YouTuber, please scroll down. I’ve already had this discussion, and I have nothing more to consider or add regarding this derailment. I’ve fixed the problem by posting an edited image. Thank you so much!

    I recently discovered DeArrow, from the creator of SponsorBlock, and I’m not going back

    It replaces thumbnails with random frames of the video or community curated thumbnails, and titles with informative, community-written summaries. It’s a bit sparse at the moment, but the more people contribute, the better it’ll get

      It’s fantastic, isn’t it? I can’t stand seeing those dumbass thumbnail faces anymore. So sad that creators are kinds required to do certains things for their video to perform well

        Then you should try the extension that replaces all thumbnails with a Mr beast reaction thumbnail!
