YouTube needs the ‘block channel’ option

Google algorithm on YouTube that suggests new content for me is great. It quickly gives a sense of something I want to see and pushes me towards similar content by different creators. Before I know it, I’m bent, hours and hours stick to my screen.

However, all the time and then, the cracks are slipping. You may have watched a political video and now feed the content from the creators you don’t see. Or, maybe you’ve watched a video about your favorite sports team, and the algorithm is pushing you towards the creators who are in favor of your team’s rivals. These types of things happen, and YouTube has a nifty way to deal with it: Select only three dot icon with a video title on the homepage and then select “Don’t Recommend the Channel”. Solutions problem!

Well, you think the problem is solved, but in reality it is not. You really have to tell the algorithm that you do not like this channel and don’t want to be recommended. You have not really blocked it, so in addition to the other locations on the site from this channel, your search feed will still appear.

Now is the time that YouTube really solved this problem. The “Block Channel” option is to be added to any video on the platform.

I give you an example of a real world why I want the “block channel” on YouTube. I am in the market for a new laptop, and keep my eyes on the 2025 Asus Rog Zepphyrus G16. As someone expected, I am watching a ton of YouTube content related to this laptop to find out if it is worth it. It starts at a total of 79 2,799, so you will better believe that I will believe that I want 100 % before pulling the stimulus.

YouTube algorithm knows that I am looking for Zafirus G -16 content, and I am entering me with tips. A channel, Easy TechNow, a few times my home screen has popped up. I saw the first few seconds of his video about Zafirus G16, and I was afraid to see that it was not the “real” creator’s channel. Instead, this is the sound of a computer reading a written script (most likely prepared with AI) in which Boll footage was stolen from other creators. As if it was not so bad, sometimes the information is not valid. Check the steels given below for proof:

Take a special note that B roll is still shown above-stolen with certainty Hardoricanics Channel – 2024 shows Zafirus G16. Given, the 2025 model looks very matching, but Easy Tech Even the correct footage could not be stolen.

However, Easy Tech Pure trash is in, and I never want to see it anywhere in my search results or app. I successfully marked the “Don’t Recommend the Channel” option on the home screen, and since then I have never seen some popups there. However, the channel still appears in the search results, which is really disturbing. Since there is no “block channel” option on YouTube, I can’t do anything about it.

You are probably thinking that I should report the video. Well, I did this: I reported it to YouTube as a “spam or misleading” content, which was the most suitable option available (unfortunately, no “AI slope stolen material feature” option). However, the cooker is that it does not block the channel. The video I reported still appears Third video When I look for Zafirus G -16 content. Third! You think a video will at least be removed from my feed, especially, or at least. But no, it still exists, very clearly. Meanwhile, I received an automated email from YouTube stating that it was looking for my report and would either eliminate the content, restrict it, or leave it after “cautiously”.

It’s not enough, Google. Just let me block it.

It is no secret that Google Generative is all in AI. The company cannot stop talking about it. Although its AI can be good, there is no question that AI is at least partly responsible for the beginning of channels Easy Tech. Since the AI ​​becomes easy and cheap to use, there will be a flood of such trash channels like on the whole YouTube. So far, you have nothing or I can do about it.

If Google allows us to stop channels, although, at least make us tolerance for our individual YouTube experiences. If Google is not clearly liked the immoral (and non -helper) channels Easy TechThis is his own mistake. But at least, by allowing me to clean such a dumpter fire and keep me as a YouTube, by allowing me to clean up and focus on the diligent, real people.

The real cooker here is that I pay the YouTube premium. YouTube should not pay for more than 20 monthly Easy Tech? This is not an advertisement, of course, but it is not valuable content from any part of the imagination. By the way, I don’t think the “block channel” device on YouTube should be closed behind premium subscriptions, but if Google should be out here to protect anyone’s best interests, these are people like me who are paying YouTube.
