I'm 20 an in uni so yes I plan to monetize this so I can stop eating ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner :)

jokes aside, I understand some users are wary of their data. We don't require any access to your socials since we just read the tweets directly on your viewport. The only data we store are your settings. Your requests go through OpenAI (and they don't store your data either).

For something fully local, I actually did build it where I used a local LLM model on the computer to do the same thing; how much would you pay for that?

It says right on the Chrome page that your extension handles my PII and has access to the content of websites I visit. Isn't that basically unlimited power? How do you intend to monetize this? If there's no credit card required to install your extension, then this sounds like a great way for you to lose money. How are you covering your OpenAI API fees? I could easily see you paying $5/day for each Twitter addict. I'm sorry but this whole I'm an anonymous person living off Ramen in Brazil and I want full power over your browser to monetize you, do you really expect people to download that?
The free plan is extremely limited, just runs on one website and only blocks a 500 tweets/month. Also gpt-4o mini isn't that expensive to be $5/day/user, even with a lot of page views.
Yeah I think I'll make the free plan better, thanks for mentioning that.
