YouTube – Blocking Unwanted Videos

firefox-extensionsgreasemonkeyspam-preventionyoutube

There are a lot of really stupid/trolly/fake videos on YouTube. I'd like to blacklist them forever when I see them, so I don't accidentally click on them in the future, and sometimes block the uploader, too, to avoid others in the same vein. Is there any way to do this? Greasemonkey script? Adblock? Firefox extension? Proxy site for Youtube?

Something like BlockSite would be good, in that it disables hyperlinks to specific URLs, but ideally, it would hide everything related to those videos, thumbnails, etc., not just disable the links. Also, last time I tried it, BlockSite was buggy.

There is no way to block a video within YouTube. You can block a user though by navigating to the users profile and clicking block user.
