YTM Artist & Song Blocker

The missing "Block" button for YouTube Music.

YTM Artist & Song Blocker restores your sovereignty over your audio environment. It acts as a ruthless digital gatekeeper, monitoring your playback and instantly incinerating any content that matches your personal blacklist.

Whether you need to silence a specific artist, remove low-effort AI tracks, or filter out annoying "Sped Up" versions, this extension handles it automatically.

🚫 Key Features

1. Integrated Control Adds discreet 🚫 Artist and 🚫 Song buttons directly into the YouTube Music player bar. One click adds the current track to your blacklist without opening any menus.

2. The "Soul Over AI" Integration The algorithm is increasingly polluted with "AI slop"—mass-produced, soulless noise designed to game the system.

Automated Shield: This extension integrates directly with the Soul Over AI project, an independently curated community database of confirmed AI-generated artists. Auto-Sync: A background service worker silently fetches the latest artists.json definition list every 5 minutes from the repository. Result: You are automatically protected from hundreds of known AI "fake artists" without lifting a finger. 3. Precision Blocking Smart Artist Matching: Uses intelligent tokenization. Blocking "Prince" will not accidentally block "Princess Nokia." Specific Songs: Blocks specific tracks by checking both the Title and the Artist. Covers of the same song by other artists will still play. 4. Keyword Filtering Create custom rules to skip tracks based on title keywords. Examples: Automatically skip anything containing "Sped Up", "Nightcore", "Commentary", or "Live at". 5. Privacy First Architecture Local Storage Only: Your data belongs to you. All blocklists are stored locally on your device using chrome.storage.local.
