YouTube is designed
to waste your time.

What it does
Thumbnails, blacked out
Every thumbnail in your feed is replaced with a plain dark block. The image was designed by an algorithm to trigger your curiosity — not to tell you anything true. You don't need it to decide what to watch.
Honest titles, always
AI rewrites clickbait into one plain, accurate sentence. FOMO caps, manufactured mystery, and vague urgency are stripped out. A TRUTH badge marks every rewrite so you always know what's been changed.
Shorts, gone
Shorts are optimised for compulsion, not content. Truth Lens removes the Shorts shelf entirely. What's left in your feed are things people actually sat down to make — and that you actually meant to watch.
