Bitchute - Mark watched videos and Remove Comments by keywords/username
This is a simple script that marks watched videos and removes comments through black lists.
How it started:
I first made this script to practice my programming and for my own use, to mark videos I watched and to filter out spam/annoying comments.
However as it evolved I thought about sharing it, so I searched for scripts and saw there were already some out there to mark videos but not to filter comments the way mine does, so I'm adding it here for anyone who might want something like this as well.
What it does:
The "marking of watched videos" is more of a "marking of -clicked- videos" but it's functional enough for what it's needed, at the moment.
About the remove, the script doesn't actually "remove" comments but instead hides them for the sake of the script's functionality.
For now, the words, by which the script filters out comments, need to be placed within the script itself on already existing variables with RegEx lists (one for whole words, one for a combination of letters and two for usernames: a blacklist and a whitelist); all of which have examples.
For curiosity's sake, I left a button with the text "Debug Menu" on Bitchute's navigation menu where, after clicking, on the left the list of watched videos can be viewed and edited and on the right the number of removed comments and the list of said comments is displayed.
Future improvements:
- modify the "Debug Menu" to bring the comments' filter lists to the front-end, so that it's easier for users to manage them;
- add "Block User" buttons to each comment to facilitate adding the username to the blacklist.
If you find this script useful, feel free to donate. I'll make sure to maintain it and even add features to it.
