I fucked up my algo watching animal grooming and cute cat videos. Funny enough something I like to watch because it's soothing has turned into something that ruins my day.

Kind of fucked that people are using animal abuse for clicks.

In order to use YouTube I need:

DF YouTube (Distraction Free) - no sidebar, no recommendations at the end of the video

Clickbait Remover for Youtube - thumbnails are a couple seconds into the video, titles are in all lower case

Hide shorts for Youtube™

ClearURLs - gets rid of tracking from URLs

Decentraleyes - I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure I need it

uBlockOrigin - ad blocker that you can also use to delete elements that it misses otherwise

SponsorBlock for YouTube - Skip Sponsorships

Shit is fucking crazy, comrade

Unhook replaces the function of DF and Hide Shorts, in addition to a few more nice options for hiding algo-slop. would highly recommend it! also Dearrow, which was made by the developer of SponsorBlock. it does the same thing as Clickbait Remover, but with added customization and community submitted replacements.

Just installed them. Didn't realize how much I was advertised to in the home page
