I started blocking those from appearing when they first showed up. There are a number of ways to do it. The Blocktube extension is one.

    if you click ublock, select the settings cog, then in the tab that opens select 'my filters', you can enter the following to do the same thing: www.youtube.com##.ytd-rich-section-renderer.style-scope

    Personally I avoid installing too many extentions as they are quite literally apps that auto open whenever you just want to browse the web (regardless of if you're going to youtube, you're computer runs a youtube specific adblock)
