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

Weedout is a Safari extension for macOS that quietly removes YouTube videos carrying the platform's 'Made with AI' disclosure label from home feeds, search results, related videos, playlists, and Shorts shelves. The developer frames it as a frictionless filter—no blocking screens, no drama, the videos just disappear. In a simulated field test on a real feed, a labeled video is gone in about half a second, and cached ones never appear at all.

The extension relies entirely on YouTube's own disclosure badge rather than heuristics or model guesses, so it does not falsely accuse videos. Everything runs locally on the Mac: no accounts, no tracking, and no data collection. It also includes an optional auto-skip for AI-labeled Shorts in the Shorts player, and a 'dim mode' that wilts videos in place instead of removing them, letting users verify the filter before trusting it. The author notes that unlabeled AI-generated content is out of scope for now, and support is available via email for questions or detection issues.
