Looking for a 'block element' like way to hide specific videos on YouTube (self.techsupport)

As Youtube becomes filled with more and more shit, I'm increasingly interested in block/hide type features. Even for videos that aren't shit, I'm seeing the same ones appear constantly in the recommendations, even if I've already watched them.

Or in the 'videos' page of a channel, being able to zap-out-of-existence ones I know I don't want to or have already seen: basically the channel should appear completely blank eventually if I've had enough time to pick through it, giving me an at-a-glance gauge of whether there's new content in future visits.

Figured there'd likely be an extension that does this, but I'm not seeing one...

Using Firefox. I do have uBlock Origin, and my first thought was to use the block-element feature to accomplish this, but that's doing things like hiding all the thumbnails vs the content specific to the video I targeted with it.

Any tips?

If you didn't see @einlander's post, "Blocktube" is exactly what we're looking for!

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll definitely have to check into that for myself too.
