Pros

Best extension for removing annoying YouTube spam.
Did what it's supposed to do well in some cases.

Cons

Censors creator comments and legitimate messages.
Does not effectively remove actual spam or NSFW bots.
Causes more harm than it solves by removing important comments.

Most mentioned

I haven't seen it hide proper spam, just hides profile pictures for no reason.
Installed to remove NSFW bots but was underwhelmed by performance.
Repeated issues with flagging comments from channel owners.

User reviews

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

this is a pretty good extension though there is the issue of creator comments getting flagged
