PSA: Don't search cute animals on youtube. Your recommendations on the sidebar will have thumbnails of animals in distress for clicks.

I fucked up my algo watching animal grooming and cute cat videos. Funny enough something I like to watch because it’s soothing has turned into something that ruins my day.

Kind of fucked that people are using animal abuse for clicks.

Unhook replaces the function of DF and Hide Shorts, in addition to a few more nice options for hiding algo-slop. would highly recommend it! also Dearrow, which was made by the developer of SponsorBlock. it does the same thing as Clickbait Remover, but with added customization and community submitted replacements.
