Consensuss Checks Whether YouTube Claims Hold Up
A Chrome extension reads viewer comments, rates a video's central claim, and flags corroborated signs of staged content or undisclosed promotion.
Field notes
The extension samples up to 200 YouTube comments, filters for substantive remarks, and sends the resulting analysis through a model provider selected by the user. A separate corroboration pass looks for repeated allegations such as staged demonstrations or bought engagement, while an optional Reddit search supplies a second cited source. The page reports an average cost of $0.0045 per analysis from tests covering more than 50 analyses, though verdict accuracy remains unverified by the homepage evidence.
