userscript-youtube-playlist-o VS null

A silly userscript [1] that uses jQuery selectors to interact with YouTube's DOM to help me move videos around my playlists. Sadly it breaks every few months whenever YouTube updates their DOM. AFIK this is the only way to "programmatically" move videos out of my Watch Later list since they removed the functionality from the API

I've created a couple of userscripts (anybody remember Greasemonkey?) to help augment sites that I use everyday

Sadly they break every couple of months when the sites' DOM changes. The YouTube one is currently broken and I haven't had the time to fix it yet

Use-case: working on PATCH requests, the body may or may not contain nullable values. I am using guregu/null and I can't use a pointer because if the json contains "null" as a value, the pointer will be set to nil in the struct, instead of a value representing the presence of null. In short I can't differentiate the absence of the field in the request from the presence of the field with a null value.

Unfortunately in Go, switching to *bool makes the api a little more awkward to use since users that need to set true or false have to define a local variable then use a pointer to that. Another option would be something like null, but that adds a dependency to your currently-dependency-free project. If anyone has a better solution to this pattern, I'd love to hear it.
