cool browser add-on for youtube... take control of suggested videos

[beat_truck]

If you use youtube a lot and are sick of the click-bait crap that comes up in your suggested videos, try this.

It's available for Firefox and Chrome.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blocktube/

You can instantly block channels and videos when you see them recommended, block channels by keyword, block individual videos by keyword, block comments by keyword, etc.

It's so freaking nice not seeing "reaction" videos, lousy music "covers", political BS, gaming BS, sports BS, corona virus BS, etc. that I am not interested in.

BTW, I know that YT has a "Not Interested" button, but it is like pissing in the wind... USELESS. YT used to flood my recommendations with videos from Fox News, The Hill, CNN, etc, even though I never once watched a news video on YT. I clicked "not interested" probably hundreds of times, and then even started reporting those videos as spam. It did NOTHING. YT/Google obviously doesn't care what you want to see.

BTW, it's impossible to block everything you don't want to see, but this helps tremendously once you get it set up your way.

When I saw cool browser add on for YouTube I thought I'd see downloadhelper or YouTube to mp3 lol.

I've actually found some neat vids in the related compiling that happens when I pull up a video. But naturally there are hits and misses.

I cant begin to fathom how much storage space YouTube consumes these days.

Neat plugin btw

I like this one best out of all that I've tried.
