1. Channel-based Blocking: The extension maintains a list of channels known for creating remixes. Any song from these channels is hidden.

2. Title-based Blocking: Songs with the following keywords in their titles are hidden:

   • remix, remixed, rmx
   • bootleg, rework, flip
   • mashup, mash-up
   • nightcore, slowed, reverb
   • 8d audio, bass boosted
   • vip mix

3. Real-time Detection: The extension monitors YouTube Music pages and hides blocked content as it loads.

Blocklists are stored as CSV files with the following format:

channelId,channelName,addedDate
UC_example1,"Remix Nation",2024-12-09

The project includes a scraper to automatically find remix channels on YouTube Music.

Using Docker Compose:

# Run once (manual scrape)
docker-compose --profile manual up scraper-once

# Run continuously (daily scrape at 3:00 AM)
docker-compose up -d scraper

The scraper will:

• Search YouTube Music for remix-related content
• Extract channel information from search results
• Save new channels to the blocklist folder
• Skip channels already in the blocklist
