Feature description

An option to hide the "New" badge on recently uploaded videos.
Image
This appears both on the Channel page as well as the Subscription, Home and Watch History pages (i.e. just about all thumbnails are affected)

P.S. I tried looking through open issues to find duplicates but "hide new" isn't a great search term it seems. So I'm sorry if this is actually a duplicate.

Motivation

As shown in the screenshot, for channels that have frequent uploads like stream clippers, it's very spammy and clutters the UI. And if the user is a frequent viewer of streamers, the home page would also fill up with these badges.

It also acts as a distraction screaming at you to click on it, and this is my personal opinion, but I would consider that harmful UX.

Acknowledgements

  • I have checked all open and closed feature requests and this is not a duplicate
  • I have chosen an appropriate title.
  • All requested information has been provided properly.

This must be an a/b layout because it's not showing this for all users.

You can try hiding it using a custom filter (search for guides how to do this), or you can try any of the following to get a non a/b layout:

  • turn on version spoofing in general settings
  • use a different YT account
  • clear the app data
  • patch an older version of YT like 19.16.39
