Útil demais! Mas poderia ter uma opção em que videos do seu próprio canal não fossem curtidos por você mesmo nem com a curtida automática nem por chegar na porcentagem configurada.

Just works, amazing to be honest. One note, make sure you restart chrome after installing the extension, I almost uninstalled the extension because it was not working for me before restarting.
