Could you share the URL of that link? IMO, there should be a better way of presenting that than on the pill bar on the top.
Here's a non exhaustive list of things I've blocked:
- The pill strip on top with a list of video topics (don't know what the official term is.)
- YouTube shorts suggestions.
- Ads that are injected into the suggestions.
- "Shorts remixing this video" section in the video descriptions.
I'll perhaps share my ublock filter list for YouTube later.
Edit: My uBlock Origin filters:

I use all of these XD
One of the best addons you can get. Period.
It's like a paradigm shift when you browse YouTube after enabling it.
This plus using ublock to remove useless UI elements makes for a prime disenshittified YouTube experience.

Urban Terror perhaps.
Ummagumma
Wait till you learn about the other stuff about them.
This one is pretty comprehensive

Picarto perhaps. Many NSFW artists use it to stream making NSFW art. Not sure about coding or streaming gameplay but I think it can be used for that as well.
Disclaimer: I have never used it myself.
Use piped or invidious instead perhaps.
Alternately, disenshittify YouTube using addons like DeArrow, Sponsor Block and uBlock origin.
