It's funny, I was also thinking about Mentour Pilot, both because of the whole discussion here, and because of the post upthread talking about clickbait. I love Mentour Pilot once I get into one of the videos, but looking at all the attention-grabbing (and clickbaity!) stills on his video list makes me have to force myself to remember that it's fine once the video starts.

if you're a Chrome user, consider installing the Clickbait Remover for Youtube extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/clickbait-remover-f.... or the add-on for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clickbait-rem...

they both do the job well. i've not been mildly irked by clickbait-y thumbnails for ages! great for mental health.

Well, that's incredibly effective. Thanks!
