Show HN: Weedout – Safari extension that hides YouTube AI-labeled videos

https://masteranza.github.io/weedout/
26•masteranza•1h ago
I'm the developer. I built this because AI-generated conspiracy videos were getting out of control in my own YouTube feed. Weedout is a $1.99 Safari extension for macOS that removes videos YouTube labels “Made with AI” from feed, search, related videos, playlists and Shorts. It uses YouTube's label rather than AI detection, runs locally, and does not catch unlabeled videos.

Source for developers who want to fork or build: https://github.com/masteranza/weedout-for-youtube

Pull requests are not accepted; the repository is for independent forks.

I wish I had this but for every website and media surface

Well, AI flags this content so it's an easy target without heuristics - that's why I've started there.

I'm more concerned about the stuff that is fraudulent then possibly legit stuff explicitly labelled as AI

True, but that's a way harder problem to solve. For me what was important was reducing the noise as much as possible as fast as possible consistently. Youtube algorithms has been pervasive enough that anything that moves the scale down even a little bit was worth the effort.

You can charge money for browser extensions? And people pay for them?

I'm in the wrong business.

It's free on GitHub for anyone to build, use or fork. I've built it for myself, but going through App Store submissions took me 2x the time, hence the price.
