About time. This stuff has been cancer on YouTube for years.
Misleading titles and thumbnails are against YouTube terms of service for as long as I can remember. Those are options to select when reporting videos.
It seemed like they never enforced it though
Years ago, I reported maybe 3 or so videos because the thumbnail wasn't slightly misleading or exaggerated but completely different from the content. Nothing ever happened. DeArrow fixes the problem to a degree.
