## Description

Avoid subscription commitment issues and keep your YouTube feed clutter-free.
"I May Subscribe - YouTube™ Subscription Manager" introduces a smart evaluation tier for your media consumption. Instead of fully committing to a permanent subscription after watching just one good video, this extension allows you to place creators into a temporary "Trial Zone" so your actual viewing habits can justify a long-term commitment.
🎯 Core Features:
Trial Tier Slots: Dedicate up to 5 temporary evaluation slots for testing new channels directly from the YouTube watch page.
Engagement Analytics: Automatically monitors and logs the exact number of videos you consume from your trial channels in the background.
Smart Commitment Prompt: Reaching a consistent milestone (5+ views) triggers a subtle, non-intrusive reminder to help you decide if the creator truly earns a permanent subscription.
Automated Cleanup: Once you officially commit and click subscribe via YouTube, the extension detects it and automatically clears the trial slot.
🛡️ Enterprise-Grade Privacy:
100% Local Storage: All metrics, trial logs, and view counters reside strictly within your browser's local sandbox (chrome.storage.local).
Zero External Latency: The extension operates with zero server communication—no tracking analytics, no telemetry, and no third-party data sharing.
Filter out temporary trends, optimize your viewing habits, and reserve your permanent subscriptions exclusively for the creators you actually value.
