I have OCD.

And I’ve lately developed a penchant for clicking on the blue dotted YouTube channels on my subscription list to the left-hand side of the page.

I would rather that I didn’t have to see that or deal with that so I can try to “willpower” my way through not clicking them or clicking all of them or as many as I can before getting tired.

But ultimately, it would be easier if there was a way to get rid of the blue dots entirely.

Is there an extension for Mozilla Firefox to adjust the UI so I can get rid of the blue dots?

Or maybe there’s a trick to change the formatting on YouTube as is?

Thanks in advance, comrades.

I hope I explained myself well. Thanks!

On firefox, install ublock origin.

Then right click the blue dot (you will have to be precise), and click “block element…”

What is Neurodivergence?

It’s ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we’re concerned

Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven’t personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you’re ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another’s, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who’s experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm’d.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
