Show HN: I built a cleaner YouTube – no ads, sponsors, or doomscrolling Hi HN! I built SkipCut it’s like an ad-free, distraction-free YouTube with useful extras: background play, SponsorBlock, dark mode, playlist support, local history, download/share buttons… and it works on any device. No install. No login. Here’s the best part: It works just by replacing "youtube" with "skipcut" in the video link. You skip all the boring stuff — ads, sponsors, intros, silence, filler and just watch what matters. Why it’s different: No comments. No suggested videos. No clickbait. I made this for my kid, I create a playlist and just send a SkipCut link like: https://bit.ly/45mc7jm It plays only those videos and stops the doomscrolling. Just replace youtube with skipcut in the URL of any video Example: https://bit.ly/4jPXs3k No signup required Would love your feedback, ideas, and bug reports!
