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 https://imgur.com/a/uxpQE1J If you'd like the same, enter this into your uBlock Filters. https://pastebin.com/PK1hdeEn 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 can also use DFTube which can hide the news feed, comments, playlists and so on. You can choose which to hide or show.

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

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

My somewhat minimalistic youtube: https://imgur.com/a/hkrB04F 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. Custom CSS in Stylus: https://pastebin.com/vcqVNfv4 https://pastebin.com/vcqVNfv4 Ublock Filters: https://pastebin.com/wsaTXG0H https://pastebin.com/wsaTXG0H
