It would be nice if you could hide youtube videos older than 12 months. This would eliminate videos that are years old appearing on the youtube homepage.

(function() {

function Hide(){ //Starts the function
var OldVideos = document.querySelectorAll("#metadata-line > span:nth-child(2)");
for (var i = OldVideos.length; i--;) { //For every video on the page
if (OldVideos[i].innerText.match('year') !== null) { //If the video was released 1 or more years from today
OldVideos[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; //Hide the video
} //Finishes the if condition
} //Finishes the for condition
} //Finishes the function

Hide(); //Run the function to hide old videos when the youtube dashboard is loaded

window.onscroll = async function() { //Every time that the page it scrolled
Hide(); //Look for old videos and hide them
}; //Finishes the onscroll advent listener
})();

Thanks! Works great!

You're welcome

I modified your script so that it hides videos older than a week, month, and year...

Also, it hides mixes now too.

I'm sure this can be further improved.

Also, for some reason, videos were not hiding at load, so I added a 2 second timeout to run the Hide() function in case Youtube takes a while to load.... seems to have resolved the issue for me.
