unhook chrome extension

if you're trying to get off Youtube (but still find value in people's work) this is for you... basically you get to decide exactly what sections of the site to hide/remove (i disabled autoplay, home page, recommendations and shorts -- anything algorithmically generated)! plus it makes you pay attention to WHO exactly you're subscribed to and what you want to cultivate in your media diet
