Anyone else has a habit of hiding giveaways of no real interest?

I'm mostly hiding the various packs & DLCs that I own, but which the Steam APIs refuse to confirm I own.
Well, that, and the worst dregs that come crawling out of Greenlight. (Meaning: anything by Digital Homicide, LordKres and possibly soon BMC Studios)

too many games to keep clicking it.
Though, the five billion copies of Tomb Raider did get me to click that away

Then I saw this small eye icon near every giveaway. "Oh! I can hide it! Thus, I shall never see it again." Since then I have hidden 2053 games. I only have three pages of giveaways to view

(y)
2 pages, 5470 are hidden

Yep. 4663 hidden. I only have to deal with about 2-3 pages.

Using it almost as much as entering GA's
4217 hidden.

EDIT: Recently started using GA filter script to clear lists even more.

4002 hidden in a year

Yes, but I only hide few games at a time because it just annoys me that after hiding a giveaway page reloads and puts you on top of the page again

I have 151 as of now, will probably add up as I go along though. I only hide those I am sure I'll never play. If I'm unsure I won't hide it but I never enter their GAs either, idk why. XD

No idea how to see how many games I have blocked, but I'm sure it is thousands.

I use filters and settings so I only see GA for Whitelist, Groups and Wishlist.

Thanks for this! Will be a lot less tempted to enter giveaways I'm not interested in now. Never noticed it before

I started to do this but decided it was easier to wishlist interesting games and just go through my wishlist. Sure, I may miss a few but it makes it so much easier and faster to navigate the site.

I just enter a small part of my wishlist items :p

433 additional games are currently being filtered.

Quite a small list compared to many, but I don't really use it too often since gets tiresome waiting for the page to reload every time. If a particular bundle shows up that none of the games interest me, wherein that bundle then ends up showing for half the page, then I'll often go through then. Checking each game to see what the tags are and whether of any interest, then hide.

Majority are greenlight stuff, but also quite a few "broken", mostly negative, or even, platformers. lol. I do play platformers, but they're really not to my interest >.< I also hide certain DLC, packages, etc, that already own. Or in some cases, would block the "first episode" of certain games (e.g Life is Strange, before I brought the complete pack when it was on sale.) really don't care for that tactic either... Yeah, its kinda a cheap demo, but when they bundle just that first episode, if you like it, you end up wanting the others. If brought it, fair enough, but more often then not if bundled, want something else. Besides that, Demo's are usually free.

Other than that, certain games just get blacklisted by their name alone. Still want to know who thought stuff like Shower with your dad, and what's under your blanket were good ideas... in my opinion.

1,194 additional games are currently being filtered

Yup, I'm definitely in the habit of hiding giveaways too :)

Try this userscript that I made a while ago [link] - it makes hiding games much more convenient.

5168 hidden. I like to keep it clean. Only 2 pages of GAs and I entered almost all of them :)

hide everything all the time :3

View attached image.

"3,447 additional games are currently being filtered." and the list is still growing. I filter every single game that looks bad for me or I have no interest.

I never even considered this.

Nice, definitely going to do this.

that was first thing i want to use, when i start here....after small research i find it and start using it (2373 hidden and 1100+ in library)
i mostly use mobile version of steamgifts, where i have filter by lvl + group and wl ga

I started hiding only DLCs I already owned and such. Then I added games I'm not ever gonna even try, like multiplayer-only titles. Then I added games with very bad ratings to it. Then I started to hide games I'm not interested in. Recently I started hiding games that I would not start playing soon after winning them. Having more than one page of giveaways usually means a new bundle came and it's time to hidey-hide.

Where will this madness end? Will I hide everything? Tune in next time to find out.

I had no idea this was a thing you could do until right now......you've created a monster

"7,266 additional games are currently being filtered." Less than one page is enough. Keeping it clean and simple.

I currently have 2,798 hidden and more are added every day. since steamgifts v2, just over a year ago, i have cleared my 'hide additional games' list and start hiding from scratch. lets me re-evaluate what games i want to enter or not. spend a day hiding while i watch tv and after a few weeks i have to hide a few every day. I recently did this a month ago and i have found a bunch of games i hid that i want to enter now.

I must say, that before making this discussion, my thought was "Well, it's rather a lot of work. It will be interesting if at least three people show up, who do hiding."

Seems like I was wrong. It's great!
