Detects spam comments and automatically hides them, protecting its users from spoofers, adult content pushers, and other annoyances.

If the add-on hides a comment you want to see, simply click the "Likely spam (+)" text and it will reveal the hidden comment (with the profile picture blurred just in case). Displaying the reason the comment was marked as spam can be disabled/enabled via the "spam reason labels" in the options menu.

Extension does nothing, used it on different channels where we always see bots (Asmongold TV, for example; or JayzTwoCents, Gamers Nexus, etc)

almost all of the time it'll censor almost every singular comment. last time i checked bots aren't the top ones in every singular comment section, and even then, they're not even close to nsfw. i have barely ever seen this hide actual spam
