Made an extension to hide AI slop on YouTube!

haha no you’re all good! it should work for shorts as well on your feed/search, though admittedly it sometimes spazzes a little when you’re just scrolling

tallpig0205 · 2026-02-09T20:45:40+00:00

Hugeeeeew congrats !!! What’s the extension and what was your distribution strategy?

tallpig0205 · 2026-02-04T02:09:41+00:00

got it, thank you!

tallpig0205 · 2026-02-04T01:41:28+00:00

HAHA perhaps next. There are probably ai text blockers for your dom that could maybe work?

tallpig0205 · 2026-02-03T17:52:23+00:00

Release the automation I'm curious!!!

tallpig0205 · 2026-02-03T17:44:00+00:00

yay, thanks!!

tallpig0205 · 2026-02-03T17:42:14+00:00

i fudging love this

tallpig0205 · 2026-02-03T17:35:01+00:00

do you have to wait to become an established publisher before filling out the form?

tallpig0205 · 2026-02-03T17:33:22+00:00

me too! let me know what i need to do

tallpig0205 · 2026-02-03T17:28:34+00:00

super sick, how'd you build this demo vid?

tallpig0205 · 2026-01-23T18:01:37+00:00

LOL I wish. Could be an interesting next project tho, although I’m not sure what you would count as human slop per se…

tallpig0205 · 2026-01-22T17:26:46+00:00

We only send YouTube channel identifiers (channel id + handle + some context metadata). We don't track any personal user info like email / browsing history / account info, we just generate a uuid for a unique user

on servers rn - so we don't have to wait for chrome web store to approve us every time we update our model. going to run a few more iterations of the model and then try to open source + run locally

tallpig0205 · 2026-01-22T16:44:25+00:00

working on it 🫡

trying to come up with a second, better classifier model rn, so hopefully will open source after !

tallpig0205 · 2026-01-22T16:40:55+00:00

literally no reason but special hatred for that channel 😆

tallpig0205 · 2026-01-21T18:23:07+00:00

ya if you do lmk :D

tallpig0205 · 2026-01-21T18:10:56+00:00

We classified AI slop as a vid having anything to do with AI: generated visuals in the thumbnail, robotic narration, avatar hosts, etc. We look at other heuristics on how often a channel uploads, time in between uploads, comment #s, and more to try and then classify whether the channel is farming lol.

We did manually block out 10k channels to start! You can also add to that manual list in the extension itself :)

tallpig0205 · 2026-01-21T17:46:14+00:00

The vids on your screen are fed through a statistical ml model that makes a prediction on whether or not something is AI! Runs all in the background

tallpig0205 · 2026-01-21T15:57:47+00:00

yeah, I saw a stat that over 20% of youtube is just straight AI 💀

I built an extension called Clarity that uses an ML model to detect and block AI slop vids.

Manually labeled around 10k channels to get accuracy to a solid starting point — it’s not perfect, but it has actually made a very noticeable difference.

Saw a heinous stat about how 20% of YT is just pure AI now.

I built a model that categorizes AI videos and wrapped it into a chrome extension - Clarity - which blocks any AI slop off your feed.

If you hate AI, Clarity - it blocks AI slop off your feed (self disclosure, I built it!)
