Overview

Detects and blocks brain-rot / low-quality YouTube videos and Shorts. Heuristic feed hiding + LLM watch-page nudge.

Rot-Stop helps you take back your attention on YouTube. • Kill Shorts — strips Shorts shelves and tiles, and bounces you off /shorts/ URLs. • Hide feed rot — scores every home/search tile and quietly hides clickbait and low-quality videos, with your trusted channels always allowed. • Watch-page nudge (optional) — before you commit to a video, get an "are you sure?" prompt for videos that don't match the goals you set. • Community channel ratings — an optional, shared reputation dataset helps rate channels; your own trust/block decisions always win. You can opt in to contribute anonymized channel verdicts to improve it — off by default. • Channel block list — hard-block channels, import community lists, and let Rot-Stop auto-block repeat offenders. • Stats — see how many Shorts and clickbait videos it's spared you. Feed hiding and Kill Shorts work instantly with no account and no API key. Everything is stored locally on your device. The optional AI nudge runs under your own Anthropic API key — nothing is bundled.
