Very, very true. Devs can and have purposefully avoided it by not setting up a curator page. This is a popular strategy to bypass the filtering system and maximize visibility of their undesirable games. I appreciate this script assuming it works.

That's really cool! I'll try to run it tomorrow because I'm on my phone at work now.
Steam does limit the number of games and curators you can ignore so I don't know if it'll help with that though.

Nice! Let me know if its work for you
I think Steam does not limit the number of ignores. I have thousands ignored.
It does limit the number of follows

Wait, Steam has a limit for ignored games? How high is that? Hope I am not getting close to that...

Hm... maybe it has a limit on the number of devs/curator ignored. I used to get a really weird message when I tried to ignore new ones.
Now I can't even find a proper curator page for any dev to try it out. Oh well.

Yes I had that before as well, there is a limit to curators at least and that limit is super low with how many there are so I gave up on that part, didn't even bother to ignore devs since many bad ones don't even have their own page.

Ah so I wasn't imagining it, thank you. Yeah it seems even the big ones don't have their own page so it's rather pointless.
The script will come in very handy with the amount of trash some of those "devs" are releasing!

Hello!
My idea was to ignore all fake games so I won't stumble on them accidentally, and to signal to Valve that the game is uninteresting (not sure if Valve does anything to games that are ignored by too many people).
I know I can ignore a curator but some devs don't have a curator page to ignore. Also, if you visit a store page of a curator you ignored there will be indication that you ignored the game.
Some fake game devs have hundreds of games. So I decided to automate the process.
Is a simple script that scrape the games on the current page and ignore one by one. Is a bit silly but I thought maybe someone had the same issue to solve.
