ShadowGag — ShadowGag Dev

Ever wonder if your 9gag comments are actually being seen by other users? ShadowGag helps you find out by detecting shadowbanned comments in real-time.

WHAT IT DOES
ShadowGag automatically checks if your comments are shadowbanned by comparing what you see on the page with what 9gag's API actually returns. If your comment shows up for you but is missing from the API, chances are it's shadowbanned and other users can't see it.

KEY FEATURES
- Automatic shadowban detection on all 9gag posts
- Real-time analysis while you browse
- Multiple ways to mark visible and shadowbanned comments
- Custom JavaScript functions for your own styling
- Works with 9gag's dark mode
- No data collection or tracking
- Everything happens in your browser

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
- Highlight shadowbanned comments with red borders or backgrounds
- Mark visible comments with green indicators
- Add text badges like "VISIBLE" or "SHADOWBANNED"
- Write your own JavaScript code for custom styling
- Adjust colors, borders, and visual effects however you want

PRIVACY AND SECURITY
- Doesn't collect or send any personal data anywhere
- Only reads your 9gag username to identify your comments
- All processing happens locally on your computer
- No external servers or data storage
- Open source so you can see exactly what it does

HOW IT WORKS
Pretty simple really:
1. Figures out your username from the 9gag page
2. Grabs comment data using 9gag's public API
3. Compares what's visible with what the API returns
4. Marks comments based on whether they're actually visible to others
5. Styles them however you've set it up

PERFECT FOR
- Anyone who wants to know if their comments are actually being seen
