Bitchute - Mark watched videos and Block Comments by username/keywords

DEPRECATED. Bitchute has added a block user function, making this script unnecessary.

This is a simple script that marks watched videos and blocks 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 comments, the script hides them according to the block lists.
For now users can block comments by username by clicking the "Block User" button. For other methods, by which the script filters out comments, the words 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 a whitelist for usernames); 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 user blacklist can be viewed and edited and on the right the number of removed comments and the list of said comments is displayed.

Tested on Firefox with Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey as well as Chrome with Tampermonkey.

Future improvements:

- modify the "Debug Menu" comments' filter list to display buttons with "x" on each username for easier unblocking;

- allow for multiple blocks at a time, instead of the current - single block per page refresh;

- get it to work in a way that it can block however many people the user wants without the need to refresh the page;

- add an option to append the profile ID after the usernames, so: hexagod becomes hexagod [VeO8NGIeqJoI];

- add an option to show own profile name instead of "You" with my profile avatar.
