This is a Greasemonkey script I'm working on to hide all content on YouTube that I deem to be cancerous or otherwise uninteresting. Hopefully making it much faster to find what you're interested in.
Prerequisites
For FireFox users install Greasemonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... asemonkey/

This is a WIP script and is also subjective. Therefore there is no install link, you must install it manually and edit it as you see fit.
Here's the working part of the script:
And here's the full broken script:
The goal is to have a script that first scans each channel shelf (if you're on the homepage) and removes all cancerous videos from them. Then it removes all channel shelves that have 0 videos left. After that it scans each remaining video title and author name and removes them if they are cancerous. This whole process than repeats as you scroll down and new channel shelves are added.
Right now scrolling doesn't work properly and neither does cancer detection for the channel shelves. Adding in the shelf code also breaks the script.
If you're on a results page it will simply hide any videos on the page that are cancerous as you load the page.
