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.
