Was a really great app up until a lot previously free features were quietly hidden behind a paywall.

As a software developer myself I get that one needs to make money at the end of the day, but the way this was handled is beyond shitty..

A lot of basic features are now unavailable, not just the nitty gritty customization features.

Use unhook or other alternatives or vibe code your own extension.

Suddenly paywalled and enshittified, use Unhook until a better alternative comes

Features that were free before are now locked behind a paywall, and the worst part about it is that the developer didn't bother to announce it. No changelog, no warning, no notice. Just a silent update that quietly turned a good app into a cash grab. Pulling free functionality out from under your users is a bait-and-switch, plain and simple. It's a shame, because the app was actually good even if it was AI, but this kind of greed ruins it. Uninstalling, and I'd advise anyone thinking of relying on this app to think twice and do the same.

A subscription for an ai sloppified extension? Really?

basic shit that used to be free got paywalled with a subscription and ai sloppified beforehand, utter bullshit, avoid at all costs

Old features that used to be free are now locked behind a subscription.
There wouldn't be a problem if the developer would have paywalled new features or if it was a normal one time payment.

The main issue is the new subscription model.

I am mainly using this extension to hide shorts and to have sessions. So I was okay to pay to contribute , but now the session/schedule block feature does not seem to work, even behind the paywall...

Wow, just WOW. when did greed consume such an amazing idea. you could have paywalled new complex ai driven whatever features no one would have batten an eye and maybe some people would pay for them.
but to paywall plenty features that were once free?
do you really think more people will start paying for stuff that was free instead of just looking for something else!? well i guess whoever is in charge does, sickening.

utterly useless with the paywall limits

As other said, quality of a once nice plugin was locked behind a paywall. Find something else to use, because this is no longer it.

I sat down today, tried to toggle something, and saw they made it subscription based. what the heck, man.

added a "premium" version and locked previously available features behind a paywall. bad, do not use.

enshittification happened lol. just go and use Control Panel for YouTube instead

Don't charge for previously free features. Enshittification is shitty, people.

why are we taking previously free features and locking them behind a subscription now??

Why add accounts, genAI "key insights", "UnTrap Plus"!

Lately it keeps not working. The videos will still show up on the homepage often and in the recommendations.

Used to be good, now it has become bloated with a bunch of AI crap and a subscription unfortunately. Also, it's working a lot worse and the UI is way uglier since the last update

This add-on honestly seemed really great when I started using it, I mean, I really appreciate the customization it gives! I'm only giving it a one-star review because it just slows down Youtube a TON.. I'd gladly use it again if it was optimized though.

I definitely wouldn't recommend this if you intend to not make your Youtube slow.. also if the developers are seeing this, please optimize this add-on, it's the best one I've found for these things, but it just sucks when it comes to speed (also some settings just don't work for me..? not sure why, as I don't have any other add-on).
