Make YouTube your bitch! - How to actually "Don't reccomend me this channel" -

[need shoeonhead nudes]

I was reading the Has search gotten worse? thread in this subforum. Near the end of the thread a lot of people were complaining about how YouTube doesn't listen to them wanting to stop being recommended a channel.

Well there's a great browser addon that helps you with this;

BlockTube

For Firefox

For Chrome


What BlockTube can do:
- Blocks videos from showing up in sidebar and homepage, based on; Channel Uploader, Video Length, or Title Keywords
- Blocks community posts (I'm not sure if this is a thing anymore because I haven't seen them thanks to blocktube, they were really fucking annoying)

As you can see, I have a lot of stuff blocked. Because well, it's just so easy to block stuff.

One of the more interesting features is the video length blocking, you could get rid of all the videos under 10 minutes long, and I find that clears up a lot of low-tier content.

So not a fan of LockPickingLawyer then I guess.

That's neat but most people watch youtube on their phones, gaming consoles, or smart TVs.

I don't use the video length blocker feature a lot, but it works great. When I do use it, it's to find hour long stuff. You just keep scroooooling through your homepage and it will only pop up the documentaries.

Yeah but mobile posters ruined the internet.

Thanks for the tip on this. Just installed it and blocked Everyday Astronaut. I hate that tool.

I used that already, but I used it to block all mainstream media channels. Literally, try this: block all media channels, search donald trump and the page will keep loading and refreshing for a full minute until it gets other verified media channels that you haven't blocked yet

I tried to block mr beast but I still see his videos.

That's funny and typical. Good way to get rid of all the mainstream shill accounts? But you'd end up blocking 200 channels.
If I want political news I just go to bitchute at this point.

I tried this this and you're right, but if you go into your video watch history and block his video in that panel, it will work. Probably something to do with how he's promoted by YouTube and his videos operate slightly differently than others.

i did that so many times with the regular "don't recommend channel" option that youtube doesn't even recommend anything anymore, its just old videos from subscriptions or from the liked videos playlist

 

[Kuchipatchi]

I wish I can stop getting recommended videos I've already watched.
And I have YT on my Switch so I can put videos on instead of lame-ass TV so the add-on won't help too much unless it can carry over.

Alternatively, go into the comments section of the videos on the channel and call the channel owners a bunch of dumb nigger faggots. They will block you from their side. Much easier and it can be done without installing anything.

For phones i use Brave to watch YouTube, it blocks the ads, and let's you listen to the video with the app minimized, or even with the screen locked.

The only bad thing is being unable to watch 60fps videos.

I personally would love an extension which removed those huge sections recommending me videos about the coof shot and/or whatever racial group the mainstream media has decided is particularly aggrieved currently.

NewPipe is great for YouTube on mobile.

 

[Burning Urethra]

Thanks man, this sounds like an interesting extension.

The brave browser rocks. If you watch movies on a website like putlockers or something you can put the video in a pop up window and use your other apps.

I can't take anyone seriously imagining them hunched over their gaming desktop in the living room sitting on their PewDiePie gaming chair typing a reply to me.

 

[Dick Justice]

I don't get it, why would you not just use Freetube?

E: now that I think about it this is yet another great way to datamine users. "Oh hey, James Paulson clicked a recommended video that's several dozen after the cutoff for what we show on the webpage! He must be running some clientside blocking! Let's use this to sell product!"

Thanks OP! link to the extension's github:

Oh good, if enough people downloaded this those clickbait channels would finally stop popping up.

 

[Pinochet Was Right]

There was a time Youtube insisted on putting the RLM starwars reviews (during the absolute height of "fuck george, abrams is saving star wars" retardedness) in every single video I visited and it only stopped because I had to use some adblock tricks to block anything that linked to these videos.
