I'm so tired of going to the "Game Assets" page and seeing the same couple of AI slop spammers again and again and again.
Why is there no clear mechanism for ignoring or blocking those people so I never have to see their stuff again? That should be basic UI/UX for every platform with user-created content.
I agree strongly with this suggestion. not just to block out AI slop, but also to block out creators who consistently post games that I find to be extremely disturbing or distasteful. some people have really sick minds, and they thinly veil it as supposed irony. its harmful to my mental and emotional well-being to see that crap so consistently.
That would be nice.
Until then, you can ignore developers by using a cuser style css on your browser.
@-moz-document domain("itch.io") {
div.game_cell:has(a[href*="//username1.itch"] ) { display: none !important }
div.game_cell:has(a[href*="//username2.itch"] ) { display: none !important }
}
@-moz-document url-prefix("/game-assets")
You might want to specify more context, else you will hide them even in your library.
I made a tampermonkey script to do this on the press of a button. It works for individual titles, or for all titles of a developer. And it treats your library different.
(To clarify, you would exchange the moz document, not add it below. Also, the links need to be as written in the url, not how they are displayed. That usually means, it is lowercase, even if the display name is uppercase. Also look out how spaces appear or not appear in the url.)
Your arguments are formally wrong and they are factual wrong and they are offtopic copy pasta.

It is not a small group that gatekeeps and has negative opinion about ai in games. It is the vast majority of gamers that think so.
To go on topic again, as this topic is not about ai, but about filtering.
Some people flood the market with low effort projects. It's the low effort that makes it slop. And the usage of ai makes it ai slop.
You might not have noticed, but OP did not ask for a filter to filter out ai. This would be trivial, as there is one: /game-assets/tag-no-ai
OP asked to filter out publishers.
AI stuff sucks. I will keep calling it "slop" as long as it is slop, and I will call out AI slop spammers as long as they keep spamming low-effort, ugly, uninspired, worthless slop.
I do not want to buy low-effort, ugly, uninspired, worthless slop farted out by an uncaring algorithm and I do not want to put that worthless slop into my game. If you think that is "gatekeeping", I am fine with that. You are wrong about what that word means, but you are entitled to being wrong.
I also didn't read your entire comment because it is, in itself, clearly AI slop designed to waste my time. (Compare this with the other posts of the same author in the thread, none of which have even remotely the same style.)
> applause your comment is the perfect summary of all thats worng with people toaday, be proud you spread the sickneess lol
I am not at all surprised that the vocal AI defender is also ableist against people who have difficulties with spelling.
Now please leave this thread so we can get back on topic. This is not about whether AI is good or bad. Even if AI was objectively, demonstrably, amazing and morally superior to humans, I would still be perfectly entitled to choose to not interact with creators who use it as a matter of personal preference. AI bros are not entitled to my attention.
To be 100% clear: any further harassment on your part is not going to improve my opinion on AI. If anything, it will make it even worse.
No, spamming my thread with off-topic stuff despite me repeatedly asking you to leave is harassment. Actively interacting with someone who does not wish to interact with you is harassment.
You are entitled to having a different opinion, but you are not entitled to shoving it into my face over and over and over again.
old topic by now, i know. and this solution wont work for non-firefox-users, but i’ve been using this addon for a while and it works pretty well, albiet slowly: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/itch-io-tag-hider
it lets you filter out any tag and even lets you filter out specific games, which you can use to effectively block a creator by visiting their profile and telling the addon to block all games on the page. there is a bug where it fills up the local storage and wont let you mass-block anymore once full, but if you play your cards right, its the best solution ive found still, especially if theres only a handful of creators you want to block.
EDIT: this userscript is an even better solution, though it does not block tags correctly right now as far as i can tell. https://00face.itch.io/marte
its the best solution ive found still
You posted here long ago. Did you not try my solution, or did it not work?
That firefox addon fetches pages in a hidden iframe. That's why it's so slow. I consider this type of mass fetching a potential ddos risk.
Try that userscript with the tag filtering on the homepage. I talk about itch.io. This page has those # tags. Maybe they are on jam pages or elsewhere too. And I guess it would filter the main genre.
Anyway, as I said above,
I made a tampermonkey script to do this on the press of a button.
This being the client side css blocking of individual games and all games by selected developers.
You cant't block tags client side on the browse pages, because that information is not loaded on that page. The only info loaded is the main genre (and I made a script for that too ;-)
You can even use my userscript to emulate multiple tag exclusion, if you bother to set it up. Just positive search for what you want to exclude, have endless scroll active and scroll down a few hundred games and up again and then hold the 1 key. Do that again every few weeks, or just add individual games as needed.
Adding games individually to your show-me-not list is the better strategy anyway in my opinion. This thread was about creators. To igore these with the script, show a game of that dev in browse, hover mouse over game, press 3.
The idea originally was to hide your library from browsing results. But the mechanic can be applied to things you do not want to see too.

I have no screenshot for the script, but it's on my project page too. And it has some basic bells and whistles. You have two different lists, export and import functions. The configuration is bare bone and at the script header.
