Extension summary

Tired of always seeing videos you've already watched in your YouTube Recommendations feed? Or being recommended videos from 11 years ago? No matter how often you click "Not interested", YouTube still keeps recommending you those videos? Do you never watch YouTube Mixes? Then this extension is for you! It will filter these videos out of your Recommendations feed, leaving you with relevant, fresh content.

You can also configure how much of a video you need to watch, or how old a video must be, before they get filtered out.

Does NOT affect videos in Subscriptions, Search, Explore, Library, History, etc.

You can also open the Console (Option + CMD + J on Mac) to see the videos that were hidden.

Doesn't work

Doesn't work, it for whatever reason resets itself unchecking removal of these YouTube Mixes: (Image Link): https://i.ibb.co/Rb1D6D8/Fk-this-sht.png The thing it unchecks is here, (Another image link): https://i.ibb.co/zQ95KjR/Do-not-do-this-sht.png I am pretty sure it does this for each time I open Google Chrome. If You are a maker of this Extension, please fix this as soon as it's possible. Thank You! :D
