Add-on summary
The Youtube recommendation algorithm is designed to keep you watching as long as possible, and it's getting very good at that - to counteract that, this addon blocks the distracting video recommendations on the video player and main page. The recommendations are still accessible by hovering over them with the mouse for about two seconds, so you can still view them if you want - the idea is just that by making them a little harder to access, you can decide wether you want to watch yet another video more deliberately.
