Feature description

Image

This started showing up in NewPipe for me which I don't want to see, but I don't see any options for turning these Trending .../Live menu items off.

Why do you want this feature?

It helps detoxing YouTube addiction by not seeing any UI elements that wants you further engage with the phone and watch videos for longer. (I've already turned off everything I can like Related videos, Comments etc)

Additional information

Only that it's part of a feature that helps reduce digital addiction in this area of the web (YouTube).
Small changes can make a world of difference for those who really struggle with quitting/reducing screen time. The user gets back some real control.
