YouTube View Filter 🎯

Hides YouTube videos below a configurable view count threshold.

YouTube recently started showing lots of low-quality, AI-generated videos with very few views on the homepage. This script filters them out.

Version: 1.0.0
Last Tested: October 31, 2025
Status: ✅ Working
Language Support: 🇺🇸 English only (other languages coming soon)

✨ Features

Configurable view threshold - Set your minimum view count (default: 1000)
Channel whitelist - Never filter videos from your favorite creators
Works across YouTube - Filters on home page, search results, and recommendations
Real-time filtering - Automatically processes new videos as they load
Debug logging - Optional console logging to see what's being filtered
Performance optimized - Efficient DOM monitoring and processing

⚙️ Configuration

Edit the script in your userscript manager to customize these settings:

const CONFIG = {
  viewThreshold: 1000, // Minimum view count (videos below this are hidden)
  enableLogging: true, // Show debug info in console (true/false)
  whitelistedChannels: [
    // Channels that should never be filtered
    // Add channel names here
    // Example: "PewDiePie", "MrBeast", "Kurzgesagt"
  ],
};

Configuration Examples

Only show videos with 10K+ views:

viewThreshold: 10000,

Whitelist your favorite channels:

whitelistedChannels: [
  "Veritasium",
  "3Blue1Brown",
  "Kurzgesagt",
],

Disable logging:

enableLogging: false,

🎬 How It Works

Technical Overview:

Monitors the DOM - Uses MutationObserver to watch for new video elements added to the page
Targets video containers - Looks for specific YouTube elements: ytd-rich-item-renderer, ytd-video-renderer, etc.
Extracts view count - Searches aria-label attributes for view count data (e.g., "Video Title - 70K views - Channel")
Parses with regex - Uses pattern matching to extract numbers like "70K", "1.2M", "169 watching" from aria-labels
Compares to threshold - If view count < your configured threshold, marks video for removal
Checks whitelist - Skips filtering if channel is in your whitelist
Hides filtered videos - Sets display: none on video elements that don't meet criteria
Runs on navigation - Re-processes videos when you navigate to new YouTube pages (it's a Single Page App)

Result: Low-view videos disappear from your feed in real-time as the page loads.

📝 Console Logging

When enableLogging is enabled, you'll see:

✅ Loaded - Script initialized successfully
🔍 Processing - Each video being checked
🗑️ Removed - Videos that were filtered (title, channel, view count)
ℹ️ Info - General status messages
⚠️ Warnings - Potential issues
