For some time now I've been getting videos recommended with barely any views (often <100), which are basically completely random.
I wrote this simple extension[0] that removes those videos from the main page, as well as on the sidebar of video pages. The limit is set to below 100 by default, however this can be adjusted. The source code[1] is available as well.
I'm not planning on releasing the Extension for Chrome, since you can't do that for free[2].

Ouch, I know. I mean, this is the best way to miss the debut of something really interesting. Some of my most beloved channels have extremely low subscriber and view counts. Of course, "recommendations" can come from anywhere, including extreme left field.
