Show HN: YouTube No BS

I don’t recall which videos exactly I tried it on, it was just what I had open in some tabs at the time, but they were all less than one hour.

I would have expect seeing no BS, as per your title. LLMs summaries are BS, especially when not requested. I expected that whatever your website was it would only have removed BS from YouTube (Comments? Suggested videos? I didn’t have anything too specific in mind), not added your own.

Thanks for the reply! In my understanding the no BS version would simply mean: no hellos, previews, plugs in the beginning, straight to the topic; quick summary of the whole content, regardless of the timeline; quick overview of the comments, how people reacted; the form should be not too long to have a grasp of it in a few seconds, but at the same time it should not miss key points and voice them

Would really appreciate if you could formalize your view on "no BS" version.

PS: there is definitely a bug which cuts off reply in the middle of it, will fix that.

Only removing things, not adding anything that wasn’t there. That means no LLM summary. Pared down to the essentials, i.e. the video.
