Fix YouTube shit and bloat (for Annoyances list)

[leli80893]

All entries I use personally, borrowed here and here

@DandelionSprout, select rules which you like the most :)
P.S: I fixed beginning of rules from www.youtube.com to youtube.com to cover mobile version too

Let's start!

☐ Remove sponsor and "thanks" button:

youtube.com###top-row.ytd-watch-metadata #sponsor-button
youtube.com###top-row.ytd-watch-metadata yt-button-view-model:has([aria-label="Thanks"])

✓ Remove recommended after pause bloat:

youtube-nocookie.com,youtube.com##.ytp-pause-overlay, .show-video-thumbnail-button
~youtube-nocookie.com,~youtube.com##iframe ~ #topvbar > #rvid

— Remove shorts from search: (Sure Shorts can get strange, but not so strange as to warrant blanket removal.)

youtube.com##ytd-search ytd-item-section-renderer>#contents>:is(:not(ytd-video-renderer,ytd-channel-renderer,ytd-playlist-renderer,yt-lockup-view-model,yt-showing-results-for-renderer,[icon-name="promo-full-height:EMPTY_SEARCH"]),ytd-video-renderer:has([aria-label="Shorts"])),ytd-secondary-search-container-renderer

☐ Block all the scripts responsible for annotations and end screen / auto play next

/annotations_module.js$script,xhr,important,domain=youtube.com

/endscreen.js$script,xhr,important,domain=youtube.com

— Hide "1080p Premium" in the video quality menu (The probably like 6 people on Earth who pay for Premium for the sake of 1080p Premium, would probably still want it.)

youtube.com##.ytp-quality-menu .ytp-menuitem:has(.ytp-premium-label)

Self promotion dialogs in bottom left corner

youtube.com##ytd-popup-container > tp-yt-paper-dialog > ytd-mealbar-promo-renderer, ytd-popup-container > tp-yt-paper-dialog > yt-mealbar-promo-renderer:has-text(/Claim Offer|Join now|Not Now|No thanks|YouTube TV|live TV|Live TV|movies|sports|Try it free|unlimited DVR|watch NFL/)

Regarding ~youtube-nocookie.com,~youtube.com##iframe ~ #topvbar > #rvid, then surely the ~'s are not supposed to be there, since the entries are intended for YouTube, and not for everywhere else than YouTube, or…?

[leli80893]

I looks like YouTube periodically changes URLs. So that's why wildcard. In my situation everything works fine. I even tested via random IPs and cleared cookies. So... Seems to be normal

[DandelionSprout]

You've got the spirit, but wildcarding unfortunately works pretty differently than that.

[leli80893]

Don't you think https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/blob/master/YouTubeEvenMorePureVideoExperience.txt should be included in Annoyances filter?

[DandelionSprout]

Possibly. Though I'll probably need some days to analyse any factors for/against including it.

[leli80893]

IMHO something generic should be in Annoyances list. Something more (if you think so, I looked through list it looks fine) aggressive - in separate one (you already have ~yet~ lists)

https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/blob/master/VeryThoroughWebsiteCleaner.txt or may be even this one

P.S: Good work! I like your lists! Some really helpful. It is great to see someone to have same ideas to maintain whole list :)
