How to remove more video from youtube embed?
According to new changes made by YouTube on Sept 2018, suggested videos coudn't be disabled.
About rel parameter:
Note: This parameter is changing on or after September 25, 2018.
Prior to the change, this parameter(rel) indicates whether the player should show related videos when playback of the initial video ends. If the parameter's value is set to 1, which is the default value, then the player does show related videos. If the parameter's value is set to 0, then the player does not show related videos. After the change, you will not be able to disable related videos. Instead, if the rel parameter is set to 0, related videos will come from the same channel as the video that was just played.
This solution might not be the best since it hides the video title along with the youtube controls (may be undesirable) but some people might find it useful.
You can make the video player really tall and then crop the top and bottom to hide the more videos section, which is done with divs, so our embed html may look something like this:
<body> <div id="player-size" style=""> <div id="cropping-div" style=""> <div id="div-to-crop" style=""> <div id="player-wrapper"> <!-- 1. The <iframe> (and video player) will replace this <div> tag. --> <div id="player"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script async src="/youtube-player.js"></script> </body> </html>demo: here

Perhaps the code may be modified to only hide the bottom portion of the player only but that will still hide the player controls as well. It is worth mentioning that custom player controls can be made using the player.seek() methods from the iFrame API YouTube has.
I have also struggled with this many times. The solution I found is to use an ad-blocker add-on to hide that element from displaying at all. By adding this to your own filter
