This is so dope! Love it.

I actually have been working on something related but not exactly - mine is more generally a Youtube video zapper. Works well for music and also for other genres, was a fun quarantine project.

Check it out! https://zapper.video/

I haven't touched the code in a few months but it works well enough, let me know what you think and also let me know which channels you would like added. Thx!
