Thanks again, Royalgamer.

It was working fine on my end, but I also have your script enabled.

Is there any way to report this shit to ban it from Steam?

The only things "I" have figured out to do to protect myself from accidentally buying (bundles) or being accepting gifted crapware and avoiding shady devs/publishers:

For each product (Time-consuming)
1. Read the reviews on Steam
2. Read the Discussions on Steam
3. If Developer has a Profile Page, block them.

Globally or by Dev/Publisher:
1. Wait/Hope/Read any SotS announcements
2. Search all products by said Dev/Pub
3. Mark all products as "not interested"
4. If they have a Steam Profile, block them.

To do all this fairly easily, I rely on web browser navigation through Steam instead of using the Client. I also use various plug-ins, wishlist scripts, and 3rd party shopping/information sites.

I VERY much want a way on Steam to ban/blacklist/block
It is painfully obvious to me that Valve is not interested in cutting their revenue stream by providing these tools to its paying (ethical) customers.

If you have any further advice on how to go about avoiding/filtering this crap, please let me know.
Obviously, I can avoid Indies as a whole, but no need for that. :)

Thank you Carl

I did not realize the Code provided required the SteamWebIntergration script to function.
I assumed it would work independently of having the script installed.

Hello folks. I hope you all find this helpful.

@Mods/Admins/Mellow: Change, edit, delete, move or whatever you wish with this information. I'm just trying to help out and "give back" a little to the group.
Thanks for the hard work you do. The shovelware/crapware that is allowed to flow through the store pisses me off, so the service the Group Announcements provide is greatly appreciated.

I am not a coder and don't have any understanding, but it seems to work.

The Java code marks ALL RESULTS displayed on the Steam Search page as "not interested". So be careful if you get results outside your search interests. This is why I say below to search based on the developer or publisher name.


Code provided at end of the post.

Thanks to SotS, I now have a way to find and mark many of the Zombie/Unethical Devs and Publishers who push crapware through the Steam Store.

My goal was simply to speed up the process of marking all of these shady seller's products as "not interested" when viewing them in the Steam Search.

It became very tedious and time-consuming to mark/flag/check them 1 by 1 and store page by store page.

I reached out to a scriptwriter/author on Steamgifts.com for "a script" that would automate the process based on what was displayed on the store page, meaning a search based on the developer or publisher name.

The info below is what was provided and seems to work just fine as far as I can tell.

Here is the meat of the info:
In your Web Browser (not steam client)

1) Go to <Steam Search Page>
* I suggest you find a game developer you don't like/want and search based on the dev or publisher name to get results.

Here is an example of a search result based on Developer
https://steamhost.cn/search/?developer=Ripknot%20Systems

2) Search for the games you want to ignore (you can search for devs/pubs)
3) Press F12 or open developer console on your browser
4) Go to (javascript) console
5) Paste the code I gave you in there and run it [Press Enter]
That should do it

This is the code string/line to paste into the Console

javascript:(function(){jQuery("#search_result_container [data-ds-appid]").each((i, elem) => jQuery.post("/recommended/ignorerecommendation/", { sessionid: g_sessionID, appid: jQuery(elem).data("ds-appid") }));})()


P.S.
If you find this helpful, don't thank me. Thank the Admins/Mods here on SotS and the writer of the script, Royalgamer06, over at Steamgifts.com :) They are the ones doing all the heavy lifting. ;)
