Long intros are the worst. You had a nice click bait title and thumbnail fucking get to the content instead of telling me how busy you have been and how you feel/sound sick or entire history of everything and everyone even remotely related to the topic if the video.

Just give me the meat and give it to me raw

Look at the Clickbait Remover extension for youtube, it replaces the thumbnails with true thumbs crested from the video
DeArrow is my favorite tool to remove clickbait thumbnails and titles: https://dearrow.ajay.app/
It's like their primary goal is to dump their opinion-drama on their seemingly captive audience, and any actual 'content' is far secondary to first-order-thinking-limited outrage.

Fuck all of them, and fuck the average human's susceptibility to being brain-hacked like that.

(Yes, there's plenty of good content and presenters out there, but there's about 1000x more dressed-up trash that also seem to have an unexplainable gazillion-and-one appropriately named "followers").

You can skip past all that just by skipping the gaping mouth soyjak thumbnails.
