4. Hard work. What a joke, this took me 4 hours tops to convert from idea to bookmarklet to extension . It’s about 60 lines of code in a content script that a monkey could write! I’m that monkey! And it only took that long because I had to keep pinging YouTube to get an ad to play! Wait for video element, then increase playback and mute! That’s it! Yet you are under the impression this is some arcane knowledge that must be copied to be believed.
5. I actually DID look at your code after thesr accusations appeared, I even posted both our code in the server for others to come to their own conclusions! Additionally you use background scripts and content scripts - I just use a content script because … why would you even need a background script? You don’t.
5. You are discussing legal advice - cute. Now HARASSMENT and slander, those are legal discussions
6. You and the other user who have been harassing me have been doing so with alt accounts, across platforms, now harassment does fall under legal eyes. Yes i have begun taking action on this.
7. This guy thought telling me my real name would scare me and all this stuff about “karma”. Ooo clever. He just got it from the license text by reverse engineering my extension, but it was meant to scare me. Yet he is the one with the very public profile and VERY easy to find information.
8. And then this guy and the other person started a defamation campaign against me on all these platforms, going so far as spamming every user on the server I run, that I put hard work into growing.
9. I also just looked at your “lessons”. I noticed we use completely different methods for detecting ads, and on completely different elements. Add to that, you set the playbackRate to 10, I set it to 16, copied?
10. And now to add to the fire you are continuing to slander me and share my usernames in this lessons thing on GitHub!
Should the prior art extensions who were already doing this exact function also be complaining against you?
I'll even share MY source code just to get this person to shut the fuck up and claiming all this crap:
// content-script.js (function () { function clickSkipButton(player) { const skipButton = player.querySelector( ".ytp-ad-skip-button-modern.ytp-button" ); if (skipButton) { skipButton.click(); } }
function adjustVideoPlayback(player, isAdPlaying) {
const video = player.querySelector("video");
if (video) {
if (isAdPlaying) {
video.playbackRate = 16; // Speed up the video
video.muted = true; // Mute the video
}
}
} function observerCallback(mutations, observer) {
for (const mutation of mutations) {
if (
mutation.type === "attributes" &&
mutation.attributeName === "class"
) {
const player = mutation.target;
const isAdPlaying =
player.classList.contains("ad-showing") ||
player.classList.contains("ad-interrupting");
adjustVideoPlayback(player, isAdPlaying);
}
if (mutation.type === "childList" && mutation.addedNodes.length) {
clickSkipButton(mutation.target);
}
}
}
function setupObserver() {
const player = document.querySelector("#movie_player");
if (player) {
const observer = new MutationObserver(observerCallback);
observer.observe(player, {
attributes: true,
childList: true,
subtree: true,
});
// Initial checks
const isAdPlaying =
player.classList.contains("ad-showing") ||
player.classList.contains("ad-interrupting");
adjustVideoPlayback(player, isAdPlaying);
clickSkipButton(player);
} else {
setTimeout(setupObserver, 50);
}
}
setupObserver();
})();
But speaking of legal action. I think of the terms: slander, libel, defamation, misleading and false accusations, and harassment.
