I had a simple scenario in mind: Hide annoying "shorts" section from youtube. It nagged me I have to sign in. I expected to be able to create a script for myself locally. Why would that lead to spamming requests?

When you click to generate a script, a (non-local) LLM assists with the generation. We have tried hard to make something work locally, but it isn't viable with current tech. I apologize if that wasn't clear from the post.

The unfortunate truth of public launches like this is that there are always some bad actors/abusers. I've launched without auth in the past and been burned. Even today, I can see people spamming email sign ups, poking around different endpoints, etc.
Totally understand the friction that auth introduces, and I'm sorry for your experience.
