Have some sort of community so users can share their lists and advanced filtering rules. #288

Personally I have a long list of One Piece related channels that they tend to spoil things. I am an active user on the One Piece community and from time to time I post this list, and people feel it useful and thank me.

I got this list from someone else, someone else that provably was fed up. It is a giant work to do sometimes. I think more people would do the work of making a list for whatever reason and post it if it could be centralized somewhere and do it with help. And others would find it more easily if they don't have to come by by pure chance.

I also have some advanced blocking filter that basically block videos older than 3 days for channels with content that require being new for being relevant (news and political channels, mostly). I haven't coded in ages and took me a while to do, I bet other people would find useful to find it done already.

I've been looking for a list of channels that make false thumbnails and clickbait so I could ban them, but I couldn't find it. A community effort would also help me. Ideally I would set the conditions for a channel to qualify (I know the previous description is too wide), and crowdsource and compose the list with other's people input.

So naturally I went to https://www.reddit.com/r/BlockTube/ and I was supper happy that this place already exists... and super deceived that it's a blockchain youtuber related content that fell out of use. Could you create a new subreddit with whatever variant of blocktube you want, or flat out ask https://www.reddit.com/user/BlockTubeADMIN for the channel? Ideally you will also need to set some rules for the sub and a link to it in the app...
