Show HN: SimpleTube – Eliminate YouTube Distractions

SimpleTube is a lightweight Chrome plugin that I made to help stop myself and friends from falling into YouTube rabbit holes caused by clickbait and suggested videos. It strips the suggested videos from the homepage, only showing the Search bar and nav bar on the left. When watching a video, all comments, suggested videos, and "up next" queue is disabled. Would love to hear any feedback on this.

+1/ YouTube is the worst rabbit hole on the internet. Hugely addictive and yet full of so much valuable content. Good work.
