Block Youtube video suggestions by view count

[mattg]

First off, apologies if this isn't in the correct forum. Feel free to move it if that is the case.

I use Adblock Plus to great effect all over the Web, especially to block a lot of dumb content on Youtube. Often, however, I still see links to popular videos in the sidebar of Youtube that have nothing to do with the video that I'm currently watching. (I'm hesitant to block the whole sidebar because most of the videos are somewhat relevant.) E.g, I might be viewing a music video by a metal band that has ~1,000 views, and then there is a video of "hot female anchor" in the suggestions sidebar that has ~45,000,000 views. It seems to me that Youtube is suggesting this because it hasn't personalized its suggestions to my viewing habits (which isn't something I want to do), and it figures that it might as well suggest this popular content to me.

So, what I'd like to do is block videos in the suggestions sidebar with >$large_number of views. I don't want to block the video itself (say if someone sent me a link directly to it), just its inclusion in the sidebar. The blocking application would need to look at the view count (identified by the Element Hiding Helper as "span, class: stat view-count") and block the whole list item (identified by the Element Hiding Helper as "li, class: video-list-item"). Is Adblock Plus capable of doing this, or is Greasemonkey the way to go here?

Thanks.

There isn't a way to do this with the ABP filter syntax, whether for blocking or hiding filters.

Ok. I haven't found a Greasemonkey script that does this, so if/when I write one, I'll post a link to it here.
