Very nice, love it! BTW is there any plugin that hides videos with over a certain amount of views? (I know I'm so edgy, right)



What is your rationale behind that ? (curious)


My general distaste for popular culture, I guess… Seriously though: there are of course exceptions, but my experience is that videos with 2+ million views aren't for me, as well as all the videos and channels featured by youtube itself, which usually fall into this category. When I see those, I won't watch them, so might as well just filter them out. Especially true for music. Just a personal preference, really.


Maybe you have become biased by the number of views. You could try, as an experiment, to write a script that hides the number of views as well as likes and dislikes. Then keep track of the videos you liked and disliked and then check how many views they have.


I do something similar with a custom stylesheet for Twitter. It hides follower count, and since I use it almost exclusively on desktop, it works quite well at helping me avoid being biased for/against a potential follow because of their numbers.


That is actually a neat idea. Trying it out now :)
