Emotional headlines have an impact regardless of the credibility of the source

Is there a youtube client (or browser extension) that accepts a whitelist of channels and only shows videos from those?

This got me thinking... A browser extension deleting everything from the front page except videos from the given channels might not even be that complicated. Hm, I might end up creating a simple extension like this...

Edit: Sorry for being OT

NewPipe can do this on Android. Search for your channels, click the subscribe button, then on the home screen of the app there's a tab with the chronological list of videos from your subscriptions. You can hide the YouTube trending tab from the home screen, and within videos you can swipe between comments & suggested/related videos, so you don't lose discovery of new content.

I think this is what we need: plugins that protect users. Allow users to vote against webpages that are too “sensational” or something.

You can't crowdsource good taste. All you'll end up with is popular content gets upvoted and unpopular content doesn't. Every voting system open to the masses ends up this way. So many problems on the Internet stem from people confusing popularity with quality.
