User reviews

"Show YouTube Video Upload Date" does exactly what it says it does. The free and paid features are clearly stated in the description. IMHO, the upsell _is_ a little insulting, but it's not unexpected.

Requires yet another subscription fee. It simply does nothing if you don't pay them. They don't have to host anything. They don't pay a penny when I run this extension. And yet, they require me to pay them money for the privilege of running JavaScript on my own computer. Greedy, that's all I can say.
