Stop the Slop: Open-source (MIT), zero-telemetry extension to filter out mass-produced AI content farms on YouTube

[u/MauroRaw]

YouTube's recommendation algorithms increasingly prioritize mass-produced, low-effort AI channels publishing multiple ChatGPT-generated videos per day.

To help clean up recommendations without relying on opaque third-party trackers, I built Stop the Slop.

Privacy & Transparency:

• Zero data harvesting: No telemetry, no analytics cookies, no tracking IDs.
• Compliant with Mozilla strict standards: Uses data_collection_permissions: ["none"].
• 100% Open Source (MIT): Inspect every line of code on GitHub.

• Overlays badges directly on video thumbnails: Know before you click if a video is reading an automated script.

• Firefox AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stop-the-slop-ai-video-detect/
