Describe the issue (mandatory)

||nicovideo.jp/api/tkas_video_impression blocks impression logs for sponsored/trending videos shown under "Related Videos", but users can still spot the out-of-place ad slot thanks to how unrelated the video usually is. As far as I am aware there is no way to differentiate between "normal" related videos and "sponsored" ones css-wise so I was unable to hide them cosmetically.

If you inspect the response for https://nvapi.nicovideo.jp/v1/recommend?recipeId=video_watch_recommendation&videoId=smxxxxxxxx&site=nicovideo&_frontendId=6&_frontendVersion=0 whenever ||nicovideo.jp/api/tkas_video_impression fires, the "sponsored" video has a "recommendType": "tkasF" instead of the usual "recommendType": "recommend". I tried reading up on json-prune.js but it doesn't look like I can remove elements based on the value of a particular property. Is there anyway for me to hide this irrelevant content?

I confirmed what you described, but I'm afraid it's probably impossible to remove them by uBO's function.
