If the auto-formatter is disabled in the options and a custom title for a video is only changing capitalisation, the addon currently shows the original title instead. I don't think this makes a lot of sense – I expect the format option to control the auto-formatter, and therefore, the "disabled" option to disable that. I don't think "disabled" should mean "I don't want formatting changes", it's a lot more useful for it to result in the addon just giving me original and submitted titles as they are.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this behavior. Maybe if there could be a new formatting option called something like "Accept crowd-sourced formatting changes"

In case you didn't see it, there's been some previous discussion at https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/897699762738966558/1225897417933721651 and https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/897699762738966558/1232036025732169849.

For me, the reasoning behind the current behaviour makes sense, but is confusing in practice.

I still don't agree with making this the default behavior for people who disabled formatting

But a title that was submitted by someone will pretty much always be better than the original title, even if it's the same wording as the original. I think this makes more sense, since otherwise, the database will just not get used in this case if auto-formatting is disabled.

By the way, I only touched the imports, src/titles/titleRenderer.ts:75, and src/videoBranding/videoBranding.ts:298. Not sure where all the other changes are coming from.

There is no "better" with that type of thing. It's up to someone's subjective opinion what they prefer. If they don't want formatting, then I don't see why they would automatically prefer sentence case formatting from DeArrow users
