Why FilterTube?
YouTube's recommendation algorithms can sometimes surface unwanted content. FilterTube gives you control over what appears in your feed, allowing for a more focused and pleasant viewing experience without distractions or unwanted content.
The Core Burning Fire Behind FilterTube
Real parent requests that YouTube ignored—until one parent asked if any programmer could build a solution.
It all started with this thread on Google's support forum: When a parent said that he is helpless and his kid is just kept crying and screaming because of the content on YouTubeKids, and he asked me if I can create a tool to block videos by keyword or tag.
When YouTube Forum maintainers deleted mine and other parents' comments and locked the thread, I decided to create FilterTube.

YouTube staff actively removed parent comments and locked the thread. Many replies now show "This reply is no longer available" — clear evidence that genuine requests for child safety features are being silenced.
"I built FilterTube because I was tired of the algorithm dictating my attention. I wanted a tool that gave me back control without compromising the utility of YouTube."
