~~I know this issue will probably be closed, just like similar issues before it, but i just wanted to show that a lot of people want this: https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/s/3gRfDfmrvH That this comment got so many upvotes, on a pretty much completely unrelated Reddit post, is saying something.~~

The commenter decided to nuke their comments right after I commented this. The original post was basically something in the lines of "it would be so much better if DeArrow titles also worked" and it got 400+ upvotes.

@LisoUseInAIKyrios in the meantime, would it be feasible to have an option to just force existing video titles to be lowercase / Title Case?

No dependency on the DeArrow API, just an implementation of item 3 in your breakdown in the other thread on the original video titles to be lowercase or Title Case.

That might be done similar to how RYD changes the dislikes, but done everywhere that video titles are used. But video titles appear in so many places and in many different ways, and likely each location would need some logic (a litho context string pattern) to identify each title.

It also might be fragile and require upkeep on identifying video titles anytime the UI changes. Seems like a lot of work for not much return of only fixing all upper case titles.

But maybe there's an easier and more robust way.

You can technically use a lowercase only font
