Add an option to choose between different youtubers

[olivertzeng]

There are too many YouTubers out there that are too suitable for clickbait thumbnails(for example DistroTube) So I think that you can make a preference of choosing different YouTubers and let different GitHub users commit the thumbnail database of the YouTubers they want.

Good idea! Maybe we could combine it with #44

Cool!
This rap battle is brought you by keeps

I think different youtubers work best as separate extensions. There are already many alternate versions of this add-on on the chrome and firefox webstore, and I've done my best to make creating your own as easy as possible! Adding alternative youtubers to the files of this extension would cause it to surpass 100MB which is very unusual for a browser extension.

Is there a wiki for this? @MagicJinn

There is not currently, but I can tell you how:

1. Download the code, either by cloning the repository if you want to use version control, or just downloading it as a zip
2. Delete all images
3. Add new images. Leave no gaps in the images, so don't do 1.png, 2.png, 4.png.
4. If you don't have images with text on them, skip to step 7 and delete flip_blacklist.json
5. Add flipped images to the textFlipped folder (if you have them)
6. Edit flip_blacklist.json with the numbers of the images that should be flipped, or set useAlternativeImages to false
7. Continue to follow the steps in this issue

cool
so the .pngs in step 3 are the pictures without the background, only the person & the text right?

[MagicJinn]

Yes! Only a transparent image of the youtuber

[olivertzeng]

ok but how do i remove unnessisery text on them? and how about those arrows?

[MagicJinn]

For that you'd have to use photo editing programs. Easy to use online tools include clipdrop and photoroom background remover.

Cool! I'll look into that!
