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!

    uggg I hate those things. I also hate certain phone games that I like to call ‘red dot games’ because it’s constantly trying to skinner box you by having 1000 things that give you stuff or need attention and they each have a little red dot next to them. By the time you get through all of them, the first one has a red dot again!

      Absolutely.

      And I have OCD, to the point where I recently got a therapist specifically for OCD (and trauma).

      On top of my “normal” talk therapist, mind you.
