Really good extension, I've added it to my browser.
While some creators like Linus have said they dislike the clickbaity titles and thumbnails but they have to do it due to engagement that's simply because the younger generations are the ones engaging with that content. As an older person I'd rather just have a to the point description of what I'm going to get.
The most useful comment in this entire thread, the search results are a bit of a mess currently and that's a huge stumbling block.
I tried a simple search query with lemmy and the way results come back is not good
it's going to take a long time for that to change but just as a casual user I doubt I'd click anything past the first few reddit links.
All I could think about after reading your comment
Yeah I mean I can't complain I'm part of the problem not posting content that isn't memes just commenting...
It does make me wonder though sometimes, my feed is nothing but these kinds of memes being repeated daily...
There's also another side to it which is that there's a very big difference in what TOS fans and TNG era fans would consider proper Star Trek.
I've always held the belief that SNW is very much a spiritual successor or prequel to TOS, and while TNG was a sequel in some ways to TOS it was a very different tone and style and it's some what jarring for people who never really got into TOS to accept as Star Trek.
People think that witty banter and quips were something new to SNW but TOS was full of them the entire relationship of the Trio was built on them, or the goofy scenes where someone would do something silly like Scotty getting drunk with comedic music etc.
This combined with as you mentioned above some slight alterations to canon drives people up the wall and it's just silly. Enjoy the show for what it is or just don't watch it.
It's also why most people suggest multiple server providers on different backbones that solves that issue most of the time.
usenet is almost always faster, there's never an issue with torrent lacking seeds and it's theoretically safer as you do not upload any content when downloading which if you do download a lot using torrents will put you in a certain legal grey area about distributing files.
but aside from all of that the integration with the arr stack and the automation makes it just so much more god damned convenient.
I use Eweka/usenetprime and use Nzbplanet/NzbGeek these days.
You can get plenty of older shows on Usenet it's not like you won't find something like Star Trek from the 60's. Hell I recently started downloading V from 1984 so...
For my less tech savvy friends/family I just have a bot in Discord that can do requests to sonarr/radarr https://github.com/kiranshila/Doplarr
Other options can be using something like tailscale and giving them the web access to sonarr/radarr
Yeah the titles are actually a huge draw for me.
