FeedTamer — YouTube feed cleaner

Filter YouTube by keyword, channel, topic, or allowlist so you only see what you want

Problem

YouTube's home feed is full of unwanted channels, clickbait titles, and irrelevant topics. Users want to filter by keyword, channel, topic, or even an allowlist, but YouTube offers no such controls. Once the feed is polluted, regaining focus is hard.

Solution

A browser extension that injects filtering logic into YouTube: keyword blacklist, channel blacklist, topic filtering, and allowlist mode; rules can be grouped and imported/exported; matched items are hidden in real time on the home feed and recommendation sidebar, with a count of hidden items.

Users

Students, researchers, and content consumers who want to control their YouTube feed and reduce distraction and noise.

MVP

Keyword and channel blacklist filtering; allowlist mode; real-time hiding on home feed and sidebar; rule import/export; hidden-item counter.

Revenue

Free basic tier plus paid premium (multi-device sync, regex rules, cloud rule library) on a monthly subscription.

Why now

Recommendation algorithms are increasingly aggressive, and demand for feed control is rising. Browser extension development is cheap, a solo developer can ship in weeks, and individual subscriptions are a direct fit.
