YouTube should provide an opposite to the subscribe button

From r/Lightbulb · originally by u/QuarantineNudist · June 12, 2025

Sometimes a video is so trash you want to ban the entire channel from your recommendations. "Don't recomend channel" option is only available on the YouTube web home screen. However, this is extremely limited. There is no simple "Don't recomend channel" on the channel page, or anywhere on YouTube for Roku. On the web, the option isn't somewhere you can get to, because home page loads whatever recommendations rather than some channel that you specify.

Yes, there are some particular people who have multiple channels who I wish to block all of them.

I like to browse "For you" rather than just followers on Threads, Twitter, etc. I don't know about elsewhere but on threads, if you click "Not Interested", all it does is hide that particular post - you'll still see posts from that account and others like it at some point in the future. (I know that you can mute and block) Your idea for YouTube reminds me of this problem.

I use Firefox and there is an addon that does this for you. "BlockTube". It add some new options to the "..." menu, including "block channel". See if that addon is available for your browser of choice. Seems to work well for me.
