Weedout Safari extension removes YouTube's 'Made with AI' videos from feed, search, and Shorts
↗
Weedout is a one-time-purchase Safari extension that filters YouTube videos carrying the 'Made with AI' label from feeds, search, and Shorts.
For engineers, Weedout demonstrates a lightweight client-side approach to content filtering that depends entirely on the platform's own metadata. It avoids heuristics and false positives by keying off YouTube's disclosure badge, but that also means it cannot catch unlabeled AI content. The extension is a one-time purchase, so it's a small commercial product rather than a free utility.
