A Script to Prune the Amazon Vine

If you're an Amazon Vine reviewer, you know how tedious is can be to look through their list of available items for any you might be interested in. You can search, but that will only find you items that you're thinking about. You can limit yourself to specific categories, which helps, but not entirely, because you'll miss the occasional item that you want from a category that you don't take that time to look through.
I doubt that there's a perfect solution to the problem. There will always be so many items that filtering down to the few items you want will be impossible. But I do have a solution that, for me at least, cuts out about 3/4 of the clutter. It's a Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey script called Prune Amazon Vine that you can install in your web browser. It enables you to enter keywords for items you don't want to see. Any items that have those words in their titles will be hidden from you, enabling you to scroll through the list much more quickly.
Will it make scrolling through Vine's product list worth your time? It's difficult to say. But it will certainly help.
