How to remove "most replayed" feature on youtube - this is the worst feature since the dislikes removal

[Slav Power]

Am I the only one who thinks this feature is pretty useful?

I know there's no real competition to Youtube, but this still begs the question of why? Why is choice so bad to techbros?

One of the Google fucks (I can't tell them apart) years ago gave a conference speech saying that ever returning more than one link in response to any search query is a failure—and this is considered axiomatic at Google, a presumed-true premise that they build everything around. "There is one right answer." This (and owning Drumpf) is why search doesn't work anymore, why YouTube always recommends the same shit, etc.

There is one part of a video that you should watch. It's decided.

Why? Because it's been decided.

Soy golems aren't "bros."

Lately I've been using ublock origin to hide whatever shit youtube throws at me. That includes the heat maps.

Just use this filter & you're good to go
www.youtube.com##.ytp-heat-map-container

Is there a way to get rid of the mini-player icon too? I hate when it shows up right when I'm about to click on the little cog.

Pros: easier to skip to the better part(s) of a largely shitty video

Cons: ?????

Really don't see what the problem is

It's bad for content creators who stretch out a video that should be 45 seconds into over 10 minutes so they can monetize it.

Good. They can get fucked.

I actually really like the heatmap feature. For some reason I've only seen it on one video so far though. Blocking ##.ytp-heat-map-container seems to make it go away with no ill effects so for the autistic freaks who literally cannot handle it, how about you use the brain God gifted you with to block the element if it pisses you off so much?

If you're running uBlock Origin then you can use the eyedropper to selectively block that element. I've attached a quick video showing how to do this

I didn't know Ublock could do that on players. Nice. Thanks.

Huh, I just got this feature and realized it worked as a "sponsor block". It shows what everyone skips which means the shilling break in a video. It could be an ad-grab from google to destroy the competition and force them into the regular ad rotation.
