Do you know of any already-established scripts that do something like this? I was contemplating introducing a block site extension, but I don't know how much self control I'd have to not just remove it when I see a juicy article I just have to read.

no sorry. but the code I shared is really short and sweet. I don't even see the entries on the homepage on the blacklist so there's no temptation to "just remove it".

Try pasting my snippet into your JS console on the homepage to see what i mean (code is short, no HTTP calls)

Humans are tormented by choice/options. The hardest time for someone on a diet is when they have the option to choose junk food. My user script removes it from your HN homepage.
