Do you hate it when you click on a video and turns out it's made by AI? Im making Combat Slop to 'combat' just that
Recently, I have been working on a browser extension that flags AI videos on Youtube. This is my attempt towards better and cleaner internet.
I'm not sure if browser extension development is considered as webdev, but they sure overlap a lot. I'm using WXT framework and dx has been nice. The biggest pain is to get it working through Youtube's SPA re-renders, and ofc, finding stable anchors to attach UI's always been difficult.
Anyways, here's some info about the project.
When installed, viewers will see added buttons which are used to vote if a video is AI or not, and if it is, it will be tagged as one. Tags are shown on home page and search results.
If a video has overwhelmingly amount of 'not slop' votes, it will be flagged as a 'gem', but if it has a lot of 'slop' votes, it will be flagged as 'slop'.
It is open source and repo will be in comments. Lemme know what you guys think.

Edit: Thought this is worth pointing out, everything about this from this post to code and logo are human made! It would not make sense to rely on AI for something anti AI.
Extension name: CombatSlop YT
