100$ to display YouTube tags. What on Earth are you thinking? Insane levels of greed. I would have happily paid 5 bucks.

Demands $50 and a Google sign in for basic functionality. Unbelievably greedy and a waste of time

why is it paid all of a sudden. No one is paying for this garbage, it used to be completely free

Used to be good for years, now suddenly needs a sign in and payment

Register through Google! Pay 50 bucks!
Three times, running and jumping!

I don't see anything on the add-on page saying it's now a paid service—is that even in line with the Mozila rules?

突然有料化して、Googleアカウントでのログインを要求してくるのは、ちょっと流石に無理です。

if, like this extension's dev, you decide to throw out all of your good will and put up a $50 paywall with no warning, don't act surprised when you watch everybody leave

$50 paywall out of the blue, dev is smoking crack

now is 50$ paywalled.. I'm fine, time to remove after years using it, what a horrible update

They are charging users an insane price for using this extension. It was never like this until now.

This used to be a great extension before the dev got greedy and is now asking an outrages FEE, or in the latest update asks you to login with your google account to see the rest of the tags that are now blurred out. Ya I don't think so.

This part is meant for the dev, you have already lost the trust of your users by deleting past working versions after your update angered most of us, and now your asking us to Pay a crazy fee or login to our google acc via your link to unlock the rest of the tags that were previously viewable using the extension.

I think you need to rethink your strategy. Maybe if you had charged a modest FEE of around $5 you wouldn't be getting the amount of backlash you are going to get now. In fact I like others here have never posted till now you gave us all a reason to now post.

While I understand creating and maintaining a plugin or extension takes work, maybe if you would have asked for a small fee like I mentioned and explained why you were introducing it you most likely wouldn't be getting people as angry as they are now, and for good reason as you pushed an update no one asked for just to charge some insane FEE or gather info via a google acc login. To have all tags unlocked.

I am sure most will now disable or completely remove your extension.

This worked great before in making YouTube display tags like it used to, but it's a blatant scam now, asking you to pay $50 dollars to view tags that you can view for free by right-clicking, selecting View Page Source, and searching "keywords" with Ctrl+F. What's worse is that seemingly in response to reviews mentioning workarounds with earlier versions, the author seems to have taken down all previous versions that functioned properly in hopes that people will have no choice but to pay for this obvious scam. Hope this garbage gets taken down by Mozilla.

updated to turn itself paywalled and has the audacity to ask for $50 for something that can just be inspect elemented

update: wait no its even bolder. it dares to say it's "50% off" (Presumably forever) and that the actual worth of this thing is 100 dollars. yeah.... no thanks

FAQ doesn't even mention why this was done

This is now adware

What a horrible update, the extension is now paywalled and inserts links pointing you to a 49 dollar license to unlock functionality that used to be free, shame on you.

You can see youtube tags without the extension by using inspect element, there is no reason to be asking for a 49 dollar license.

Had a malware scare because suddenly there was ai slop running on my pc, the clearly LLM-written website doesn't exactly build trust. Thanks for the reminder to carefully consider which addon is allowed to auto-update.
Also, I appreciate the reviewer who pointed out that by using the functionality of downloading older versions I can return to my familiar experience without ai slop instead of the video tags. (Though they're easy enough to look up in the page source anyways iirc.)
p.s. Congrats, this is my first ever review here and you managed to highly motivate me to write it.

latest version got 49$ paywalled so here's what you do:

scroll down on the addon page and go to "all versions" > scroll down to version 8.0.2 > right click "download file" > "save target as..." and save it somewhere > drag the .xpi file into the browser and confirm installation > disable autoupdates in addon settings

by the way sublicensing(selling) youtube content for money (that includes tags) is against youtube's rules
