OnlyHate

Product Introduction

1. Definition: OnlyHate is a privacy-centric Chrome extension (technical category: browser-based content-filtering tool) that algorithmically hides positive comments on social platforms like YouTube, displaying exclusively critical, negative, or hate-driven feedback.
2. Core Value Proposition: It eliminates "toxic positivity" clutter by deploying real-time sentiment analysis, enabling users to focus purely on critical feedback, bug reports, or genuine hate—optimizing time for creators seeking unfiltered criticism or users validating negative sentiment.

Main Features

1. Negative-First Filter: Uses client-side NLP (Natural Language Processing) libraries to scan comment sentiment locally. Positive phrases (e.g., "Great job!", "Love this") are hidden instantly, while negative/neutral comments remain visible. Zero data leaves the browser, ensuring privacy.
2. Platform-Specific Toggle: Activates via a toolbar switch with custom rulesets for YouTube (currently live), with future support for Facebook, X/Twitter, and Reddit. Adapts to each platform’s DOM structure using CSS/JavaScript injection.
3. Real-Time Feedback Loop: Updates comment sections dynamically as new content loads, applying sentiment thresholds (e.g., hides comments with positivity scores above 70%). No server dependency—processing occurs via Chrome’s V8 engine.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Content creators and developers waste hours sifting through irrelevant praise to locate actionable criticism (e.g., bug reports, UX flaws). OnlyHate surfaces only high-signal negativity.
2. Target Audience:
   • Creators/Developers: YouTube video producers, SaaS builders, and app developers prioritizing critical feedback for rapid iteration.
   • Critical Consumers: Users seeking validation of negative opinions (e.g., product researchers, disgruntled customers).
3. Use Cases:
   • Identifying recurring complaints in YouTube video comments for product updates.
   • Analyzing hate patterns for community moderation strategies.
   • Benchmarking negative sentiment during product launches.

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Unlike generic comment filters (e.g., Chrome’s "Hide Comments"), OnlyHate inverts traditional moderation—suppressing positivity instead of toxicity. Competitors (e.g., "Distraction-Free YouTube") lack sentiment-based filtering.
2. Key Innovation: On-device NLP processing (via TensorFlow.js or similar) ensures zero data privacy risks. The "negative-first" algorithm prioritizes speed, scanning 500+ comments/sec locally—unlike cloud-dependent tools.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does OnlyHate protect my privacy?
   OnlyHate processes all comment data locally in your Chrome browser—no servers, logs, or external data transfers. Your activity remains private.
2. Does OnlyHate work on all social media platforms?
   Currently, OnlyHate supports YouTube comment filtering. Facebook, X/Twitter, and Reddit compatibility are roadmap priorities for 2025.

   Yes, the Chrome extension is free during beta. Monetization plans (e.g., premium filters) are unannounced but may follow open testing.
5. Will OnlyHate slow down my browser?
   Optimized for minimal resource usage: tests show <5% CPU impact during active filtering due to efficient client-side processing.
