I watch a lot of technology overviews/previews explanation videos and in many cases people will point out issues in the comments. I wonder if there would be a good solution to be able to see that kind of comment but not useless ones.

If this plugin gains traction I might add more features such as leaving the top comments from being hidden.

Hello, this is my first plugin that I submit on Hacker News and hopefully not the last. This plugin was inspired by my friend, who's a great developer and power user, who didn't know you could use uBlock Origin to hide elements, so I created a plugin that streamlines that process for her most addictive website.

(Forgive me if this breaks HN etiquette) I am located between San Francisco and Seattle and I'm looking for a Junior, front-end position (remote okay). CV and contact: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IGtneIUixBnrFBzBdAbBNaGf4yo...

There's already "DF (Distraction Free for) YouTube", which does (almost?) the same and a bit more. Not sure if it's open source and it looks like it's not being maintained but it still works.

Personally, I'd benefit more from a "Less Addictive HN".

I really like DF Tube. And I use Youtube Blocker for regex based suggested video blocking (really useful if you are trying to take a break from one particular interest of yours).

Are you using Hackernews' built in anti-procrastination features?
