Weedout for YouTube

Weedout for YouTube is a Safari extension designed for macOS users to automatically remove videos that YouTube has labeled as "Made with AI" from their viewing experience. This includes content found in the home feed, search results, related videos sections, playlists, and YouTube Shorts.

The extension operates by quietly pulling these AI-labeled videos before they are scrolled past, ensuring a seamless browsing experience without blocking screens or interruptions. It offers an optional "Dim mode" which wilts these videos in place instead of removing them entirely, allowing users to verify the AI label if desired. The detection mechanism relies solely on YouTube's official "Made with AI" disclosure badge, avoiding guesswork or heuristics.

Weedout for YouTube is a one-time purchase available on the Mac App Store, requiring macOS 13 or later. It emphasizes user privacy with no accounts, no tracking, and no data collection, as all processing runs locally on the user's Mac. The tool focuses specifically on content identified by YouTube's AI disclosure, leaving unlabeled content outside its current scope.
