 How Make Youtube Less Boring

Mark as "Not interesting" all the videos.

Paste the below code in your browser console (F12 > Console):

await markAllVideosAsNotBeingInteresting({
    iterations: 1
});

async function markAllVideosAsNotBeingInteresting({iterations}) {
    for(let i=0; i<iterations; i++) {
        await markCurrentVideosAsNotBeingInteresting();
        console.log(`Iteration ${i} completed. Waiting 300ms`);
        await sleep(300);
    }
   if(confirm("I'm done! Do you want to reload the page", "Yes")) {
    location.reload();
   }
}

async function markCurrentVideosAsNotBeingInteresting() {
    const videoMenuButtons = document.querySelectorAll("yt-icon.ytd-menu-renderer");

    for(let i=0; i<videoMenuButtons.length; i++) {
        if(!videoMenuButtons[i]) {
            continue
        }
        videoMenuButtons[i].scrollIntoView();
        await sleep(10);

        // Open the video menu
        videoMenuButtons[i].click();


        await sleep(50);

        // Click on "Not interested" button
        var notInterestedButton = document.querySelector("#items > ytd-menu-service-item-renderer:nth-child(5) > tp-yt-paper-item");
        if(!notInterestedButton) {
            continue
        }
        notInterestedButton.click();

        console.log("One video has been marked. Waiting 100ms");
        window.scrollBy(0, 95);
        await sleep(100);
    }
}

// Utils
function sleep(ms) {
    return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

PS. I'm not responsible if your accound get banned (Up until now, I
wasn't banned) .

Thanks!

Why don't you randomize the sleep() calls? I suppose this decreases
the chance to get caught in some algorithm web.

Sorry, something went wrong.

nice! youtube is really boring with recomendations last time. if i
scroll over recomendations for couple times it should automatically
understand - i won't click that videos now and probably won't to
watch it in the future. stupid algos

I wonder what the consequences are for disliking videos instead of
marking as not interesting, and if that would achieve a similar
effect.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Nitpick: why are there spaces after for keywords, but not after ifs?

Sorry, something went wrong.
