Sizzle is a tool and browser extension that automatically rates the quality of youtube comments and filters out unnecessary ones. Everything runs on your computer with very few resources.

- Mozilla Firefox Addons (will be added soon)

Studies show that spammers evolve faster than viruses, making the Dead Internet Theory real. They can be corporate, clankers (bots) or lil ipad kids. It can even be your neighborhood cat 🐱.
These spam comments take up ~40% of the comments in videos which are for all ages.
I could not find any good way of removing these comments, which wastes my time while reading comments, so I created this comment classifier.
Is this just another spam filter chrome extension ?
Nope! You choose the quality of comments, whether you want them to be good, bad or in between. This tool adapts to evolving spammers automatically as it uses semantic analysis model, and gives every comment rating on its quality. Everything runs offline.
Is this tool fully perfect ?
No. It may remove some comments which it classes as low effort but you find them interesting. Don't worry, you can always reduce its strictness.
