YouTube Repeated Recommendations Hider
Hide any videos that are recommended more than twice. You can also hide by channel or by partial title. Works on both YouTube's desktop and mobile layouts.
About
This userscript enables you to keep your YouTube fresh with only new recommendations, automatically hiding any video that is recommended more than two times.
The script works by storing in your script-manager's local storage the URL of every video that appears in your homepage or related videos section (the one below/beside the video you are watching). After the second time the same video is recommended, you won't see it ever more, as long as the script is enabled or the respective recommendation is included in the script's storage.
In case you want to make it hide after only one time, so that only brand new recommendations are shown, you can freely change in the script the max number of repetitions to 1.
If you want to know what videos are repeated but don't want to hide them, you have the option of dimming them.
Optionally you can also hide all videos of a specific channel, or videos that contain a specific text in the title. To do that, you just need to click on the recommended video's menu (the three dots button) and choose the option you want.
You also have the option of marking videos you already watched:
Make sure to change the settings in the script to your preference.
This userscript was tested and works in Kiwi Browser with Tampermonkey on Android, and in Firefox on PC. Other browsers that support installing script-managers may also work, although not tested.
