Is there a way to filter YouTube links?

I lurk here at work and don't watch YouTube in general. Often it's annoying to see something of potential interest and it's a YouTube video. Is there a way to filter youtube.com here or an extension enabling that functionality?

Thank you.

    It's a planned feature: #117. If you have uBlock Origin installed you can do it with its custom filters feature: ! Filter all YouTube submissions...

    Edit: You can now also do this with Tildes ReExtended!

    In the meantime, you can filter out the video tag, and that'll remove YouTube, though it'll also catch videos from other sources.
