Shutdown
On July 13, 2015, after four months of intense negotiation, Sean announced that due to difficulty meeting YouTube's API guidelines, the extension would be removed from the Chrome Web Store the following day. The reason and the entire email conversation with the YouTube team was made public by the author through his extension app.
