Unfortunately, probably won't ever be possible because of TLS encrypted connection to YouTube (unless you can install custom root CA on apple devices??)

That's sound great, it shouldn't be too much work I guess, because the chrome API usage here is pretty minimal

In my opinion, a good indicator of pro "content creator" video is usually all capital letters/multiple question&exclamation marks in the title.
You can setup this matching quite easily with regex

You can do that very easily, and also use raw regex for more flexibility

It does sounds like a great idea, but would require setting up a remote service which I'm not ready to maintain at this time

An Extension I developed to combat today's YouTube "quality" content.
You can easily block videos, channels and comments based on your own rule-set.
The block is 100% site wide, an unsuspecting user wouldn't know it's enabled, unless they're actively looking for a specific blocked video.
It's still an initial version, but there shouldn't be any issues. Also, the options page is not quite visually impressive, but functional. (A better one will come sometime)
This is a must have if you have little children browsing the site with no supervision.
It's compatible with Firefox 52+(ESR) & Chrome
