Remove sponsored content in YouTube videos

In plain words

Remove sponsored content in YouTube videos is a tool that strips out paid promotional segments from YouTube videos. It's designed for viewers who want to watch content without interruptions from sponsorships. The tool automates the process of identifying and removing these sponsored sections, saving users time and providing a cleaner viewing experience.

Butter is a browser extension that skips sponsored content in YouTube videos. It does this by watching them before you do. Because you deserve butter. Butter uses machine learning to detect sponsored content. Instead of looking at keywords or the metadata provided by Google, it analyzes the video content itself. This allows Butter to detect sponsored segments even if the creator doesn't mention them explicitly. Other browser extensions rely on manual, human work to achieve that, but Butter is not that smart. Butter is an experiment that proved to be more useful than I expected, so I decided to share it. However, in reality, it should not exist. Advertisers like to say that they support…from butter.sonnet.io

  YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads2023 · ▲713

  Hi HN! Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.
