(Youtube) The ability to block certain keywords.

[sonal-g123]

Right now, I'm not sure how the block function works (was unable to figure it out), but I'm assuming it doesn't take into account blocking by keywords. Is it possible? Because no matter how much we click "not interested" or "don't recommend channel" we keep seeing the same shitty recommendations (from different channels) again and again.

So if we were to block specific keywords, then we would be permanently free from recommendations we have zero interest in seeing.

Yes, this should be on ImprovedTube's To-Do list!
Simple: 'channel blocker'(webstore) ( There also was 'Video Blocker' looking easy ) Smarter: using keyword lists, phrases & rules* (possiblities are endless) You can try YoutubeRefined. We used to recommended this. (Being universal will make it look too complex to most users) Automatic: So we should ship predefined rules too = 1-Click-Features In other words: YoutubeRefined is like a "Level-Editor for several of our future features...

Yes, this i should be one ImprovedTube's To-Do list! And smarter/automatic stuff too using keyword lists & regex. In the meantime you can try YoutubeRefined We recommended this since a long time. Yet it still got only >1000 users only, so, while it is a smart feature, it might not be the most rational next step for ImprovedTube, since we need to care for so many people already. And when we find the time, we can do more of the things nobody else in the world made yet.
