ytmodifiering

ytmodifiering is a term used in online communities to describe activities that modify or customize content and experiences related to YouTube. It is not an official YouTube feature but a descriptive label for various client-side or content-side modifications that users apply to interact with YouTube in ways beyond the standard interface.

Common forms include using browser extensions or user scripts to change the appearance and controls of the YouTube player, such as themes, layout, or playback options; adding overlays or captions; and remixing or re-presenting existing video content with consent or within a permitted license. Some projects focus on accessibility, providing improved captions or translated subtitles; others experiment with analytics or interface usability.

Legal and ethical considerations are central. Modifications that alter video content without permission, attempt to deceive metrics, or violate YouTube's terms of service can be illegal or result in account penalties. In contrast, accessibility-oriented modifications or user-implemented interface customizations that respect licensing and terms are generally considered permissible within limits.
