Hide channels feature #3745

Closed thequver closed 3 months ago

thequver commented 3 months ago

Describe the feature

Please add a possibility to hide specific channels from recommendation feed, search results and (optionally) comments made by those channels.

Why would this be useful to add?

Sometimes you want to search for interesting content or see it in recommendations but instead only repetitive and annoying influencers videos or other clickbait spam appear there that you cannot avoid or block in any way. This feature will allow to clean up recommendations and search results and make them useful.

Concept(s)

There are already chrome extensions for blocking channels on youtube but they no longer work seemengly after youtube internal updates. Here is the specific extension example i've used before: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/channel-blocker/nfkmalbckemmklibjddenhnofgnfcdfp You can see the way how they made the ui for blocking (a little X near the channel name). It was really convenient to use and I suggest to add the same thing to piped.

Would really prefer this for certain c*nts who show their punchable faces in every thumbnail.
