Description
This is a procedure to remove the "More Like This" section next to each deviation and the "More Like This" overlay that appears at the bottom of thumbnails. I don't want to be scrolling to click the 'download' button, so this is my solutionDo not tell me this solution doesn't work for your specific browser. If you have a solution for users using a different browser, feel free to post it below. I do not want you to tell me this isn't good enough for you. I'm not here to fix dA's messes; I've provided a solution that worked for me, not a promise that I'll make everyone happy.

I agree. I hate it when I post some clean anthro work and the 'More Like This" shows big boobed anthos >.<

STORY
OF
MY
LIFE.
Seriously, it kills the wonderful artwork I have displayed... some people's fetishes should be kept to themselves, and not publicly. ;n; I'm an anthro artist, and those big-busted monstrosities appear in the "More Like This" thing all the time. It makes me sick, honestly.
I strive to have the cleanest gallery possible.... and those nasty things are ruining that effort. ;A;

I agree...
And besides, shouldnt they be promoting the other works of the same artist, not others works? >.<

Yes, they should. There is a "More from [artist username here]" thing right above the "More Like This", but it's still smaller. I find it quite disrespectful to the artist nonetheless to myself. I agree that the "More Like This" should be a button, not a cluster of dirty thumbnails cluttering the artwork. As a button, it's an optional thing rather than shoving it into people's faces, drawing attention away from the artwork itself.
BLEH. >n<

...or for them thinking that the artist makes work related to those dirty ones >.<
...and shouldnt there be like a filter for age?

Absolutely awesome! Faving to install later. This is great work for the community. Thank you!

Thank you SO VERY MUCH! For someone as squeamish as me, I was really getting upset with all the pictures of people with their skin off next to completely unrelated images.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
YES! Thank you! I just keep getting Equestria Girls and other completely unrelated things. Usually only 2 or 3 pics that pop up are in some way related to the picture.
It's not really a fair feature, because you're forcing people to advertise for completely different stuff....

I did what you said for chrome, and it isn't working....
Did I mess up? Help

Thank you kindly! I was getting so tired of seeing My Little Ponies and... fetishes when I was looking at robots and monsters and dinosaurs and Ghostbusters and the like. And on professional, respected artists pages, too.

Awesome. Do you think you can make a script to block deviations with certain tags from appearing on your computer?

Try the AdBlock browser extension

Thank you soooo much!
I don't hate the "More Like This," but it can be very distracting sometimes. I just wish it was only the button and not all the thumbs.
Also, I still feel as though it's disrespectful to force it on everyone making them involuntarily promote others, but that's a whole 'nother discussion...

Excellent! It worked! Thanks for this.

Some of us just would rather appreciate the artwork
right in front of us, but I understand how some would
find it as a useful feature, for me it's distracting!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This worked like a charm! Thank you so much, I never hated the More Like This feature, but I want to see more from the artist, not similar pieces from other people. If I was looking for art of one theme I'd watch a group!
Thank you again! (:

Oh wow! I'd almost forgotten what it was like to have a good clean DA page. Thanks so much for figuring this out and for sharing it!

Submitted yesterday, so I don't expect to hear anything for a day or two.

Thank you very much for this and your time, I really needed it! ^^
Honestly... I wish this "More like this" section was OPTIONAL for EVERYBODY at least, not obligatory... mostly if you blocked some person you don't feel like promoting from your account and said person appears everwhere in your deviations because of the similar tags we both use (my particular case)... the idea is really unpleasant to me... I wish this "More like this" section considered blocked people...
I know the rest of users around dA have no fault if I block someone, but I think I also have the right to not promote some person I don't want to... at least in my own account.
Well, it's just my personal opinion of course.

On second thought I think I'll be using the Adblock option, Iguess it'll help me focus on things when I use the site (trying to cut down on browser extensions, so I figure I'd just use it with Adblock since I already have that)
Great work making this, and thanks again for making things quite a bit easier for us!

I faved this even though I'm not using it cause to me it misses the main point, which is of other people seeing it on my deviations (my main concern I mean). But I wanted to bring more attention to how bad this "feature" is and it seems you worked hard to get all this info, so fave it is ^^

I wish I would've known about this sooner...didn't even know you could do such a thing lol. Better late than never I guess. Thank you~!
