Red Buddy

No more :(

YouTube skip buttons no longer recognize synthetic clicks. They go up the event stack and check for trusted source, so even synthetic events that would create a stack do not work. At least from the research time I'm willing to put into it. So I'm abandoning this. It served well while it lasted.

The one for Twitch still works though. Collect those channel points!

I'll leave the repo for now in case someone is curious.
