Description
This could be related to an earlier request I made 1.5 years ago here: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues/2470
Basically, I am using the option to auto expand a YouTube video's description. But inside the description, I just want to see the part that the YouTuber wrote. Just their description that they typed out. I don't want to see the junk under it like Transcript, and a bunch of other repetitive or useless stuff that just clutters the page and forces me to scroll down a lot.
All of that junk below the description is inside:
div[slot='extra-content']
If there was an option to hide the extra-content stuff inside the auto expanded Description, that would be a nice improvement.

Research direction
Locate the code that auto-expands YouTube descriptions and handles div[slot='extra-content']; start by reading how existing description options are applied. Add the requested opt-in behavior without hiding the creator's written description, then verify that expanded descriptions can show the main text while omitting the extra content.
