First thing, I want to clarify that I love SkyTube and I've been using it independently as a replacement of Youtube,
Now, I have a feature suggestion :

So there is an extension called "DeArrow", what it does is simple, it replaces the thumbnail and title of the video, by a much more descriptive title and an actual image from the video, so this extension effectively removes clickbait. It would be very nice to have that just as we have the sponsor block extension.
Tell me what you think about it, because if DeArrow could be implemented here it'd be perfect.

(Of course it should be an option like everything else not forced on by default since I understand why others may not like it on by default)

Yes, that could be a nice feature, I like it!
What makes this a bit complicated, is when to request those titles? Is there an API which could provide new titles for 10-20 videos at once? Or if we got a title for a particular video, does it make sense to request it again, X hour after, when we display it again?

I have to admit, I have recently found DeArrow and as of now, I'm more of a user than a developer so I don't know a lot.

There is this documentation I saw about DeArrow's API, perhaps it could answer your question: https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/API_Docs/DeArrow
Also, it is made by the same person who created SponsorBlock, he seems approachable and easy to contact, he even has a discord server so maybe he could help.

About when to make requests...
I think the time delay should depend on whether or not the video is trending, if it's in trends then request should be made more often maybe once per hour, if the video is popular and less than a week ago then once per 6 hours. otherwise if it's not popular or old it could be once per week maybe?

Ideally the requests would happen as the videos get fetched, otherwise it would just rely on cache so that the API doesn't have to take a lot of requests, thing is I'm not sure how much it takes to make it based on the upload time and number of views and even less if it's compatible or easy to implement with SkyTube, I hope that at the very least this reply could inspire some solutions.
