+# Lean YouTube Filters for uBlock Origin
+
+This set of filters helps to make YouTube become usable and less distracting if
+all you want is to watch videos and don't care about YouTube's own shit
+algorithmic discovery.
+
+## Why?
+
+I don't use YouTube while logged in, and I only watch videos on YouTube when I
+find links somewhere else. For instance, I use my RSS Feed reader to subscribe
+to YouTube channels (yes, that's a thing). I've maintained this set of filters
+over a number of months/years to make my YouTube experience less annoying, and
+I figured other people might want to benefit from that breath of fresh air.
+
+## What's being filtered?
+
+Check the commented [filter list file](#file-lean_youtube_filters-txt) for more 
+info on what is being filtered. I tried to make it somewhat readable. Basically:
+homepage content, related videos, and elements that are only of use to users
+logged in (and thus push you into a login page if you accidentally click them).
+
+# Installation on [uBlock Origin](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock)
+
+[Import](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-lists-from-around-the-web#import-3rd-party-filter-lists)
+the following URL into your Filter Lists:
+
+`https://gist.github.com/shello/3ef9752c4c77b78b81f6eb63c93ddfc9/raw/lean_youtube_filters.txt`
+
+And you're done.
+
+
+Alternatively copy the filter rules into [your own filters](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-My-filters),
+picking what you want from it. You don't get the benefit from any updates I make
+to these rules, but then again you might not want some of them anyway.

+! This is a list of filters I maitain to make YouTube usable for me.
+! It helps with making the site less distracting and annoying to interact
+! with for users without who are logged out.
+! Some of these filters might not be suitable for your needs.
+! They work for me though. Take what you need.
+
+! Hide the content of the homepage, it's all junk anyway.
+youtube.com###primary:matches-path(/^/$/)

+! Hide elements that only have value for logged-in users
+! such as comment action bar (thumbs up/down + reply action)
+! and the "subscribe" button
