What if the algorithm stopped hiding and started explaining itself?
Every day, social media algorithms decide what you see — and they never tell you why.
This project is a small act of rebellion: a browser extension + desktop agent (Clippy, naturally) that sits with you while you browse, watches what the algorithm shows you, tells you the truth — and then clicks "Not interested" on your behalf.
- Watches your feed — YouTube, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Reddit, Threads
- Classifies every post into one of 9 categories (politics, sports, tech, etc.)
- Asks you with floating 👍/👎 buttons: "Are you interested in this?"
- Learns your preferences and adjusts its weight per category
- Acts — when you press 👎, Clippy automatically clicks "Not interested" / "Hide post" for real
- Auto-dismisses posts from categories you consistently dislike (configurable threshold)
- Shows you exactly what it learned — dismissed count, category weights, sentiment badges

When the user presses 👎 or when the brain weight drops below 0.4 (configurable), Clippy automatically:
| Platform | Action | DOM Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube | "Not interested" | Hover reveal → ytd-menu-renderer → option click |
| X / Twitter | "Not interested in this post" | [data-testid="caret"] → menu item |
| "Hide post" | [aria-label="More options"] → menu item |
|
| "Not interested" | Three-dot button → dialog button | |
| TikTok | "Not interested" | Direct button (newer layouts) → overflow menu fallback |
| "Not interested" / unfollow / hide | Control menu → option click (verified live 2026-07-28) | |
| "Not interested" / hide / block | Overflow menu → option click (best-effort — Reddit blocks automated verification) | |
| Threads | "Not interested" / hide / mute | More menu → option click (best-effort — only verified logged-out) |
import { createBrain } from './brain/brain-api.js'
import { createChromeAdapter } from './brain/adapters/chrome-adapter.js'
const brain = createBrain(createChromeAdapter())
await brain.load()
const categoryId = brain.observe('פוסט על פוליטיקה...') // → 'politics'
brain.positive('politics') // user liked it → weight +0.15
brain.negative('politics') // user disliked → weight -0.08
brain.recordDismiss('politics') // post was actually removed from feed
const { allTime, weights, dismissed, dismissedTotal } = brain.getStats()
// weights.politics < 0.4 → auto-dismiss threshold crossed- Run
npm install && npm run build - Open

Shipped:
- ✅ Improved YouTube selector (InnerTube API)
- ✅ TikTok action adapter
- ✅ AI dialogue via Claude API (ask Clippy "why?")
- ✅ Landing page in Hebrew/English/Russian — the extension popup itself is still Hebrew-only
- ✅ Mobile app (React Native, Android) — on-device brain, a real floating Clippy bubble over other apps, and real feed monitoring on Instagram/TikTok/Twitter. Sideload-only, not on Google Play (Accessibility API policy risk — see
CLAUDE.md)
Open:
- Real-device verification of mobile feed monitoring against live Instagram/TikTok/Twitter (so far only tested on a Play-Store-less emulator)
- Threads action-engine needs real-browser testing with a logged-in account (Reddit can't be tested this way at all — see Known Gaps)
- Category blocklist, export preferences, full multi-language extension popup — not started
- Decision pending: publish
mobile/to Google Play with the feed-monitoring service disabled
