Turning off "What's Hot" in Google Plus

Ever since Google+ put on the "What's Hot" stream, I found the myself less inclined to check my account. It  really felt like spam and was a big damper on the Google+ experience. I really didn't care for posts of people I don't know, much less for things I have no interest in. I did a few searches for a possible fix and came up with nothing other than reading about how users hated it. Today I did a couple of searches again and found some possible fixes, but it required installing some ad blockers and some other stuff. Really didn't want to do that, felt that it wasn't elegant enough. Even sent some feedback to Google, which i think is awesome, and what would make even more awesome is if someone at the other end reads it and responds. Siri perhaps.  I hope someone does, because I also didn't know how to remove items in the "Reading Lists" with Blogger and sent them feedback as well. Anyway, I didn't give up on the "What's Hot", and finally found a way to disable it. Just do the following.

1. Click on the "What's Hot" stream at the left side menu.
2. Move the Slider to the left most position!
3. Be Happy.
