Any site with forced popups or forced video auto-playing is black listed ... I don't visit it again ever!

Any site says to me to stop my ad-blocker ... also black listed ... I don't need their online garbage ... I am already paying money to access their online crap!

For Youtube channel's home forced video auto-play ... I skip it ... and usually I move directly to the channel's videos listing page bypassing the channel's home page!

I HATE forcing videos or stupid content or large images on users! and I consider it "Online Abuse" and disrespect to the visiting users!

Also not only I use Ad-block ... I use uBlock https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock with "Block media elements larger than" 100KB !!

If anyone knows how to block Youtube Channel's Home video autoplay please tell me how, maybe uMatrix will help https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix ... I didn't try uMatrix, will try it soon!
