remove-youtube-suggestions VS blocktube

Funnily enough, the code responsible for hiding shorts in that is just under 20 lines long :P

Same! There is an excellent extension for this called RYS which makes it really easy to toggle parts of youtube you don't want https://github.com/lawrencehook/remove-youtube-suggestions

self-promo, but you might find my extension helpful. https://lawrencehook.com/rys/

Also Remove YouTube Suggestions. It can go hard into removing anything popping up at all on the YouTube site that's not the video.

I’ve given up, and I dislike having content pushed to me in general.

I use a combination of Remove YouTube Suggestions[1] and prefacing “intitle:” before any YouTube search to avoid weird matches that point me to irrelevant content.

I think it’s ridiculous that I need to constantly click “show less like this” and exert so much effort to train YouTube. I also hate how they’ll insert random unrelated videos “For Me” or “Watch it Again” in my search results. It’s all designed to keep me on the site and distracted… better to avoid it entirely.

Remove YouTube's Suggestions well, does as the name implies. You can completely nuke your YouTube UI. So no more reccomended videos, end of video grids, search bar reccomendations, none of it. This is also still being maintained by its creator, Lawrence Hook, and it actually got an update as recently as of 5 days ago. Unfortunately it's exclusive to Firefox for now. Firefox Github

You just go into the plugin settings and remove it from the list, and then possibly restart the browser. I've never had it to where I can't unblock a video or channel. If you continue to have the issue, report it on the github.

But I don't like their work. I use the BlockTube extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blocktube/bbeaicapbccfllodepmimpkgecanonai?hl=en-US or github: https://github.com/amitbl/blocktube

Yup! BlockTube is an open source addon that does that! https://github.com/amitbl/blocktube

Blocktube - Basically adds block function to youtube. Comments, channels, specific videos, video titles. Can block trending section etc.

Blocktube. They won't hide it themselves so you have to help them do what they're told.

Blocktube. There are so many kinds of trash and spam on youtube that I never want to see. The platform doesn't have a native option to hide its own algospew so this helps them do it. Can also remove shorts entirely

Maybe you could consider adding that functionality to Blocktube? It already works based on keywords, or channels, etc.

Do you use mobile or pc btw? I use pc and run this extension called Blocktube. It's for both Firefox and Chrome and it's pretty great imo. It can block channels and videos directly but also from keywords you specify. It can also block comments and shorts if those aren't your jam
