VideoVitals

About

Stop wasting time on misleading YouTube videos.

VideoVitals lets you flag clickbait and rate the information density of any YouTube video. Community ratings appear inline next to every thumbnail — so you can spot low-quality content before you click.

WHAT IT DOES
• 🚩 Flag clickbait — one click marks a misleading video. Other viewers see your flag.
• 📊 Rate information density on a 1–10 scale — how much actual substance did the video deliver?
• See community signals everywhere — flag counts and average density show up inline on the home page, search results, channel videos, and sidebar suggestions.

HOW TO USE
1. Sign in with your Google account.
2. Open any YouTube video. Two new chips appear next to the title: 🚩 Flag and 📊 Rate.
3. Click 🚩 to flag the video. Click 📊 and drag the slider to rate density.
4. Browse YouTube — community ratings appear inline on every thumbnail.

PRIVACY-FIRST
We collect only:
• Your Google profile (email, name)
• The ratings you submit (video ID, flag, density, timestamp)

We do NOT collect: browsing history, watch history, video metadata beyond IDs, or analytics/advertising data.

EARLY DAYS
This is the first release. Community ratings start sparse and grow as more people use it — your ratings help bootstrap the signal for everyone.
