Hacker News Top Tools

Summary

Weedout is a Safari extension for macOS that automatically hides YouTube videos labeled 'Made with AI' from your feed, search, and other sections, ensuring a cleaner viewing experience without tracking or data collection.

I&#x27;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&#x27;s label rather than AI detection, runs locally, and does not catch unlabeled videos.<p>Source for developers who want to fork or build: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;masteranza&#x2F;weedout-for-youtube" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;masteranza&#x2F;weedout-for-youtube</a><p>Pull requests are not accepted; the repository is for independent forks.
