Going to try this out. Just change the link from youtube to skipcut and no ad's no sponsors, nothing.
I wonder how long they get a C&N letter. Maybe they will open-source it so you can self-host it if that happens.

>Hi HN!
I built SkipCut
it’s like an ad-free, distraction-free YouTube with useful extras: background play, SponsorBlock, dark mode, playlist support, local history, download/share buttons… and it works on any device. No install. No login.
Here’s the best part: It works just by replacing "youtube" with "skipcut" in the video link. You skip all the boring stuff — ads, sponsors, intros, silence, filler and just watch what matters.
Why it’s different: No comments. No suggested videos. No clickbait.
I made this for my kid, I create a playlist and just send a SkipCut link like: https://skipcut.com?list=xyz123 It plays only those videos and stops the doomscrolling.
Just replace youtube with skipcut in the URL of any video Example: https://www.skipcut.com/watch?v=abc123
No signup required
Would love your feedback, ideas, and bug reports!
