Could you build this?

Partial While building a Chrome extension DOM scraper is straightforward, running real-time, low-latency text evaluation on endless social media feeds at acceptable cost and accuracy without burning expensive API limits requires specialized caching, lightweight local/edge classification models, and heuristics.

What it would actually take: The architecture would combine a browser extension content script with a fast backend proxy or local ONNX runtime running quantized classification models (like RoBERTa or distilled transformers). The hardest part is maintaining sub-second inference speeds across high-frequency infinite-scroll feeds while minimizing LLM API costs and avoiding bot-detection rate limits from social platforms. It requires ML engineering for text stylometry and statistical watermarking detection rather than raw LLM calls.
