Infobesity

Some videos talk at you. Infobesity tells you which ones, before you commit twenty minutes to them. Fixing : Information overload, also known as infobesity, infoxication It reads the video's caption track, counts the words, divides by the runtime, and shows a small badge in the corner of the YouTube player: Badge Words per minute Meaning ------------------------------------------- 🟢 Relaxed under 150 conversational pace 🟠 Brisk 150–179 above average, still followable 🔴 Dense 180 and up sustained firehose Hover the badge for more detail: the peak minute of the video, the total word count, and the runtime. The peak matters — a video can average a calm 140 and still have a stretch that runs at 210. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO - No account, no sign-up, no settings to configure. - No data collection of any kind. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent anywhere. All analysis happens inside your own browser tab. - No analytics, no telemetry, no ads. - Only runs on youtube.com watch pages. It cannot see any other site. LIMITATIONS - The video needs captions. Auto-generated captions work fine, but a video with captions disabled entirely will show "no captions". - A small number of videos serve captions only to YouTube's own player. Those show "unavailable" rather than a wrong number. Open source under the MIT license.
