The most convenient userscript for me is this one that automatically likes YouTube videos. It’s configurable to be able to: like the video after a specified watch percentage, ignore already disliked videos, only like videos from subscribed channels, and ignore livestreams. I like it enough that I’ve made a few pull requests to fix it when YouTube changes their UI.

When I have the time, I work on an in-progress local version to implement a few new features including: (1) Support for the YouTube shorts UI. (2) An option for a notification/toast to appear when the video has been liked. (3) An option to check the watch percentage continuously (mutation observer) instead of a user-defined poll rate which sometimes misses liking very short videos in playlists. Eventually I’d like to port something like this as a YouTube ReVanced patch.

These coding bootcamps get weirder and weirder every year.

Or the window popping up when you exit steam from the system tray just to show you “steam stutting down” and a spinning icon for 5 seconds.

I don’t think they were being sarcastic. What you provided was genuinely important context. It changed my perspective of the headline and OP’s ammendment. I would also consider it essential knowledge. Thanks
