I got tired of all the clickbait and recommendation spam on my YouTube homepage so I made some filters in uBlock Origin.

My filters also block out recommended videos on the righthand side of the video you are watching.

Here's what it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/uxpQE1J

If you'd like the same, enter this into your uBlock Filters. https://pastebin.com/PK1hdeEn

(Feedback and additions Welcome! This is something I hope to share with others to make YouTube a little less insufferable)

You might be interested in Invidious. It's a lightweight youtube frontend that runs in the browser.

You can host it yourself or use one of the many public installations: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/wiki/Invidious-Instances

I use a FF addon[0] that redirects YT links to Invidious

My somewhat minimalistic youtube: https://imgur.com/a/hkrB04F

I use Stylus plugin to resize the videos and ublock filters to hide things like breaking news, views, "For You" search results etc.

I did the same thing, even got rid of the "Up Next" section. It helps reduce distraction and keeps me on YouTube less.

You can also use DFTube which can hide the news feed, comments, playlists and so on. You can choose which to hide or show.

you should probably publish this to github or something so people can subscribe to this as a filter list.
