Lately my Google+ stream seems to consist almost entirely of comments people posted on YouTube videos.
I have absolutely no interest in seeing these. How can I hide/filter these posts?

Open the Family stream:
Check if you have subscribed to all posts:
If you still do not see all posts from your family members, I guess you must report it as a bug, unless you have a lot of people in your other circles and/or the volume of posts generated by one or more person/page is high enough for Google+'s algorithm to not be able to display all posts on your home screen. And there are chances that the updates you are looking for are overshadowed by all other posts (you might have to look deep).
Short answer
Now Youtube offers more options for live streaming. You could still use Hangouts on Air but also could use the Stream Now [BETA], but if you still want to use Hangouts on Air, you will require a Google+ profile or Google+ page.
Extended answer
Hangouts on Air requires a Google+ profile or Google+ page connected to a Youtube Channel. It's worth to say that
- Now are other options for live streaming from a Youtube channel.
- Youtube is making changes so will not be required anymore a Google+ profile or page to be tied to a Youtube channel.
Regarding 1, now there are three types of doing live streaming in Youtube: Stream now Beta, Quick and Custom Live Event.
Regarding 2, from Your channel and Google+ - Youtube Help
Most people don't need Google+ to use YouTube.
If you’re comfortable using the name and photo you’ve selected for your Google account on YouTube, you no longer need to have a Google+ profile on your account. You can create a channel and use all YouTube features without Google+. If you already have a Google+ profile, it won't affect your channel whether you keep or remove your Google+ profile.
Reasons you might still need Google+ connected to your YouTube channel
If you want to use a different name and photo on YouTube than the name and photo you’ve chosen for your Google account, your channel should be connected to a Google+ page. When connected to a Google+ page, your YouTube channel gets its name and channel icon from the connected page, instead of from your Google account. Any name and photo changes will apply to both the Google+ page and the YouTube channel.
If you want multiple managers to have access to your channel without sharing passwords, you can use admin features with a Google+ page.
You’ll soon be able to do the above without Google+ Pages as well. Check out our blog post for more information and keep an eye on this article for updates.
Comment notifications
If you want to get comment notifications through the notification bell , your account needs to have an associated Google+ profile or page.
What if I never connected my channel to Google+?
If you’d like to use the same name and photo that you’ve selected for your Google account on YouTube, consider confirming your name so you can regain some features on YouTube, like commenting.

Best Answer
I'm not sure if you mean your own videos or other people's Youtube videos. Here's what I've found.
Go to https://plus.google.com/settings then scroll down to "Receive notifications" click on "Posts" and then unselect the last option "Shares or comments on your content across the web (for example, your YouTube videos or your blog)"
Also you may want to make sure when you comment on a Youtube video that the "Also share on Google+" option is off. Follow up comment are most likely considered responses and will show up on the stream (I'm not sure about that though).
