Show HN: Weedout – Safari extension that hides YouTube AI-labeled videos

A developer released Weedout, a $1.99 Safari extension for macOS that removes YouTube videos labeled “Made with AI” from feeds, search, related videos, playlists, and Shorts. The extension relies on YouTube's own AI label, runs locally, and does not catch unlabeled videos. The source code is available on GitHub for independent forks, though pull requests are not accepted.

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's label rather than AI detection, runs locally, and does not catch unlabeled videos.
