Youtube auto-starting vids on channel's Video page

Seems as though when going to the /video page of a channel, Youtube automatically loads every video on that channel onto a playlist. And the playlist is always set on auto-play, meaning it will automatically start the next video by the channel. It doesn't matter if you turn it off once, it'll keep defaulting to auto-play when you go to another video.

It does it by adding a &list suffix to all the videos in the /video section of a channel. For example:

https://www.youtube.com/user/ESportsTV/videos

Check the URLs to those videos. The link to the first one is:

youtube.com/watch?v=QJKoECZt9pU&list=UUAI86CUHDIkKXGA6YpVBhYg

(https://www. removed because TL automatically converts it into an embed)

Go scroll to the end of that video, and it'll auto-play the next one. And you're gonna have to keep turning off auto-play every time, since Youtube seems to refuse to save that setting.

The only part of the link that's required to watch that video is youtube.com/watch?v=QJKoECZt9pU , but Youtube adds the &list crap because it wants as many hits on their videos as possible, whether you want to watch them or not. This is goddamn annoying.

So if you're as goddamn annoyed by little things like this like I am, here's a solution:

1. Install the Greasemonkey Extension for your internet browser
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/?src=search

For Chrome, you can get TamperMonkey, but keep in mind, I have not tested this script for Chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en

2. Install this Script: https://greasyfork.org/scripts/3433-playlist-remover

Done. No more of that &list crap at the end of those videos, unless you're actually on a /playlists page.

Here, other stuff from me:

You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

you can leave the full youtube link in ur post if u put [url=] tags on it in order to prevent the autoembed but preserve the link. I'm a liar but you can still use the url= tag to have a clickable link to the youtube vid you want without embedding

This feature of youtube is indeed diabolical. It almost killed me of exhaustion and shit-overpressure last night as it kept playing me videos John Oliver talking about stuff, which is physical impossible to stop watching! (luckily, I was able to solve at least the second problem realizing that I can take the notebook with me).

If you want to download Youtube Videos, you can use this:

I absolutely hear you. Crap like this is incredibly dumb and annoying, because it's clear why Youtube's doing it. Cheap way to artificially increase the number of views on someone's videos.
