It would be nice to be able to simply not display/erase from the DOM tree Twitter Blue posts. With the algorithm change, they're clogging up the replies to posts and burying the actual quality non-twitter-blue replies.

Something like the following:

var listOfTwitterBlue = document.querySelectorAll('span[data-eight-dollars-status="blueVerified"]');

for (var i = 0; i < listOfTwitterBlue.length; i = i + 1) {
    listOfTwitterBlue[i].closest('div[data-testid="cellInnerDiv"]').remove()
}

I will take a look at implementing this if it’s still needed

Recently (within the last week) Elon turned off the ability to mass-block twitter blue people, so it seems especially needed (to me at least) right now.

It would be really cool to have a setting to either remove them, re-sort them to the bottom of replies, or hide under "Show blue replies" similar to "Show more replies". These Twitter Blue replies are quite annoying due to them clogging up the very top of the replies list, especially under very popular tweets.

Big +1 for this. The recent change to promote blue posts above all actually good content makes Twitter practically unusable.

There are other extensions to block blue users, but I don't want to block them, just hide their posts. And Eight Dollars is already here with all the legwork done and proven, so this would be a very welcome additional option as soon as possible.

I know I could add the change quick n dirty myself, but I'm using the Chrome store version and would rather not switch to an unpacked local one that requires manual updating
