Just came across your channel & vid for 2022 on how to block users/comments. Just finished watched David Wilcock “Live” & noticed some bullies & clicked to report them & was on desktop mode so I could view & participate in live chats/super chats etc. & the 3 dots worked in safari in desktop mode to hide user but he needs to do it for his own Channel as I’m not his Moderator or authorized to do that but wanted to inquire if these directives still apply now in 2024? TYSM💖👍 I also want to know for myself as I’m fixing to start vids & don’t want any lower negative energies on my channel so until I acquire my own Moderator as it grows I’ll be deleting/blocking all the bots/trolls/arbors etc. @VEEDCREATORS @davidwilcock333

It's very stupid that we can't block channels. Everytime I go searching for information for a game, I'm swamped by clickbait youtubers and I forget which ones suck because there's too many people who think RU-vid is a good job when the market is saturated with the same content over and over.
Yes. I'm sick and tired of seeing my search results overrun by anti-woke grifters when I'm just trying to find stuff about games I like. There are quite a few usual suspects that don't always appear in recommendations, but they do appear in search results.
I hate that the "Don't not recommend channel" option or even "Not interested" isn't applied to search results for whatever reason. It's only for the front page and side recommendations.
The few times I've wanted to block a channel, the two options mentioned didn't show up in the menu. I went to the channel and down-voted their Community posts and their videos. Not much, but it was something....
yes, the reason that if your common is not a bot just saying something the youtuber hate things, that the youtuber block your common as all of his/her channel forever, when you want to common next time or give a supper chat, your don't know they block you, because you can see the your comment in your history, until you count the total common is not correct in some videos. until you use privet mode and use other account to common and logout again to see the other account is it appear but the main account isn't.
Every social media has done a 180, they used to focus on providing content you like, but they now focus on providing content you hate, they have realized hating on something results in much more interactions. Social medias have become social cancer, they are now feeding you with all kinds of content you hate, just so you comment on them and increase interaction and therefor ad revenue. Its beyond sick.
I keep getting recommended a disgusting video of an anorexic woman. Never looked for anything like that ever, all I'm searching is video game content and it shows up on EVERY search.
Also, people selling shitty products pay more to advertise their garbage. Ever notice the amount of ads that are advertising straight up snake oil? Products that may not even exist... products with wild health claims. Alphabet should be sued for the types of advertisements they allow here, it's not under any apparent control at all.
let alone the fact they’re harvesting our data and only provide a server they dont creat anything original. its all user generated content and data. these types of dynamics are ruining human interactions intentionally
There used to be an option to block a channel, but it was hidden in the report function, which is a dumb place to put it, because not every reason to block a channel has to do with reportable behaviour. Sometimes you just don't want some bad taste garbage appearing on your search results because the algorithm has decided that you want it and won't let go. But that's gone now. RU-vid wants us all to be exposed to the very dregs of humanity.
i hated this channel named "masteroogway". i kept pressing rhe "don't recommend channel" or "report video" just to not see him, yet, RU-vid won't do anything.. it's annoying as hell
Ya idk why youtube insists on not letting people block channels. I’ve had so many annoying culture war commentator’s all over my feed and every time I hit not interested it insists on continuing to update me on their upload schedule.
Exactly, there used to be a way to block channels, now if you go under Report it doesn't say Block, it says Hide User From Your Channel! It's not right that those of us who just watch the channels have no rights at all on here!
there’s this one bot that i see in literally every single comment section no matter what kind of video it is and they promote their disturbing content and it makes me feel so gross and i wish i could block them so i couldn’t see their comments anymore but of course i can’t
Well done am hector i find this blocking or block channel or block in general embarrassing to i don't block anything am just me i get block i don't care am easy created new channel somehow., i feel no need to be rude and block you are nonsense
YES ! THIS is what I'm looking for. Blocking on social media sites is one of the most BASIC things like get it together youtube! I'm so sick of the same 10 channels repeatedly assaulting me even when I search things completely different they will appear. I'm getting sick of RU-vid. And "not interested" "don't recommend" is as pointless as possible. And "block user" only applies to them commenting on your channel which is even more useless as viewers.
@@sharkisland5931 hahaha right can you imagine if 90% of the viewers like us making them money from their eyes and/or ears just all of the sudden stopped using youtube or making the ent. industry rich. maybe, just MAYBE then, we would all be heard and youtube would come up with a block option. its not like we're asking for much?! the greed is becoming a little too much sheesh i almost feel like putting a dollar on a fishing rod and making them grab for that view like that one commercial lmao i bet they would too! well atleast that one asian bot guy who triggers me w his youtube shorts would.. i literally had to program my sons brain to block it mentally lmao gotta do what ya gotta do! he wont even click it anymore. we were all was so proud :')
me too. i thought by clicking on the three dots and clicking on do not recommend that solves it.. because it SAYS they Won't Recommend videos from that channel.. i will say i was trying to get a specific channel to appear on the suggested videos feed because i don't like the content-so i was disliking the videos-then i switched it up and was liking them Sure enough it came up on my suggestions for that channel and boom i clicked on the do not recommend list lol BUT i'm not understanding what that does now because the channel still shows up..
@Maison Schwarz Well, I found a Chrome extension that I am using to block spoilers to movies I didn't want to see until I had watched the film, but now I use it to block youtube video channels from AI spam sights targeting names like my home town NFL team. It's called Spoiler Protection 2.0 and when I put a string of words in the EXT it blocks all the content containing it with a color box. For example, if I put the exact phrase VEED CREATORS in the ext all videos from them would be a simple colored box. You could click the box to see what's underneath if you want.
You can block a channel from appearing in a search. Just include the name of the channel in your search but put it inside quotation marks and put a minus in front of it (no spaces). Nothing from that channel will show in your search. Be aware though it also excludes anything with those exact same words.
Really wish they would implement the function so that if blocked, if you click a link from for the channel you blocked, it just goes "you've blocked this channel" which would make certain they do not get any views. Specifically talking about those "it's finally here!" bot spammers that i just wish would get un-alived in the most brutal and gory way possible. Just cause they can't make actual content for sh*t, doesn't mean we want it spammed more than "did somebody say thunderfury blessed blade of the windseeker?" in WoW back in the days.
What many of us would like to do is block 🚫 certain people/channels from being able to view our content all together. You can block people on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, why not RU-vid? 🤷♂️ Blocking certain people from making comments on your channel is something, but it's not enough! 😮💨✌️🇺🇸
Trouble is, you have to find a video by that channel in your feed. You can't just do it by finding a video from that channel because it doesn't have those options.
Ohhhhh. I was trying to do it on a video in my History. Didn't work. Those options don't exist on the three dots window when the video is in my history. Def makes me sad.
NOTICE: I tried these options on items that did in fact show up in my channel feed when I was scrolling down. Those options for "Block" and "Not Interested" were still NOT available for selection! That is TERRIBLE! I'm stuck with this nonsense from channels I don't even want to see.
you used to be able to actually click on a channel and block them but its like RU-vid removed it. Now my child is constantly bombarded with swear words and horrible videos even in restricted mode. When I would hear it before I could just block it on my laptop. now you can't. its like the world wants to to expose children to things at a much younger age. There is no youtube kids app on Roku or some smart TV's.
Those options don’t exist anymore 😭 at least not on iOS. I have C-PTSD, having an option to stop seeing recommended vids from a specific channel with potentially triggering thumbnails and auto play footage is really important :(
I am having the same problem. With asmr videos. I’ve been watching asmr for years as a coping mechanism and this only started being a problem a few months ago and I’m super angry that I can’t get these videos removed from my feed.
I have cptsd also and it seems like the more I hit the do not recommend the more they show it ... looking like I'm going to have to find a different website
@@VEEDCREATORS He hates muslims and always calls us terrorists every time he mentions a muslim country. I was a subscriber since 2013 but his degeneracy has gotten out of control. Over the years I’ve caught him being racist as all hell. Every time a white terrorist has commited a crime against humanity he censors their face always spewing up the same bs ”I don’t want to give these people any more attention than they already have been given” But as soon as a brown guy does ot. Full blast. Instead of saying Saudi Arabia he calls it the country that funded 9/11 and he doesn’t see how liberals can cause racism because the west is always right. He recently scammed all his subscribers with a sponsorship of that new scam regarding the whole lady/lord bs in Scotland and instead of adressing it he swept it under the rug and deleted the part where he mentions the sponsor out of his videos but still won’t come out and say listen I scammed yall. Fuck this hypocrite racist piece of shit. And youtube still recommends him.
I'm fed up with getting an incredibly sick stomach from disgusting skin & eyeball content in my feeds despite telling YT to hide ALL of this content, removing any autoplay crap & even reporting it to get it away from me! It's not working 😭 🤢 I just can't see that kind of stuff or I feel like I'll literally throw up. Anyone ... please tell me how to get them to STOP putting this content in my recommends... please save me 💀😭
I hate that RU-vid doesn't allow me ke to block channels, especially since RU-vid thinks I want to watch vids that trigger my trypophobia and suggest them so I will randomly see a vid like that popping up searching something totally unrelated and I cant get those channels to never come up again. It is 2024 not having a block function is insane in this day and age.
Apparently RU-vid no longer allows users to block channels.When I navigate to the "about" page of a channel, the block button is no longer there. I can leave the channel "hidden" but that means nothing. I still see the channel in my recommended feed. I now report the channels that get through as spam. It does no good but if more of us did this, it migh clog the algorythm.
That's disgusting behavior They should know they are blocked Or they won't look at their behaviour... Being disingenuous is what has made RU-vid fall from being a good people's platform Into a hated bully
New problem. Channels now create user names with words that you block. It doesn't keep out spammers anymore. When you block a channel, they create a new one with a slightly different name and spam again. We have one for an adult sight that constantly creates a new account to advertise the sight. We constantly block and ban them, but it comes back with an additional space or an emote or a dash.
@@VEEDCREATORS it is.. i constanly have to block some imb@cil from india every fokin day new name contacz me on telegram while he impositng chanel i do sub.. liek WTF youtube!!
This is so true. I dont even open their video, just click on "dont recommend channel". Then I refresh my page and a new channel pops up with that person in it. it's *impossible* .
its so unfair anymore in this technology crazed world.. i was wondering why this one specific, VERY cringeworthy short kept showing up & realized that as well, but this confirms it for me. i may just be done with youtube altogether because it's not right. if i dont want to see something because it triggers me, i shouldn't have to espeically considering all the views i give people which is then turned into money for them. brb gonna fly to china and handle this talk in person i guess...
This is really just an extreme form of harassment at this point... if Alphabet keeps ignoring/allowing this they should get sued. There is NOTHING stopping these bots from spamming kids/family accounts. Some of these bots about a year or two ago were making fake accounts with straight up literal snapshots of porn for banners and/or profile pictures. Then they'd comment on vids from teams like DemolitionRanch- and that's supposed to be a fairly family friendly channel. (despite how some might feel about guns) Edit: The bots just copy a comment from somebody else in the video and reply it to other people's comments-- but the account is already visibly lewd and accessible the moment they comment. Just saying... what is RU-vid's defense for this bullshit? They're just asking to screw up horribly and end up having to pay out instead if gaining the premium subscriptions they want. Why would someone reward them with a subscription fee when they platform is actively hostile and indifferent to their userbase? Twitter is going through the same thing right now, Elon's (team is) trying to prove he's smart and making themselves look even less competent with every new restriction.
yeah they still also just show up eventually, and if you're scrolling through "new to you" eventually the 3 dots disappear so you can't even select that (although, something I discovered about when this happens is that if you right click the channel name and open it in a new tab then close it, the dots actually return for a couple more scrolls allowing you to select do not recommend channel again") The worst thing is the disgusting amount of news channels, especially ones absolutely irrelevant to you either by language or location but they just keep coming. I wish there was a way to absolutely block either hashtags or content types from showing up. The way it is right now absolutely does not favour the end user in the slightest
"Not Interested" and "Do Not Recommend this Channel" aren't options when I click the three dots. It's just "Add to Queue" "Save to Watch Later", "Save to Playlist", "Share", and "Report".
I wish RU-vid had a way so when you type in the Channel, it will not show up in the search bar. 😂 but sadly you can’t do that. You can only do that to a RU-vid kids account or a Computer. Thanks for your help though. I needed a way to block this kid from commenting random stuff on my channel.
it is a major flaw by RU-vid. What if you don't want to block an entire channel just a type of video? I'm sick of getting video's recommended that don't match my search.
This doesn't always work. I've been trying to stop recommendations from a channel for ages, but the option to not recommend isn't in the list when I click the 3 dots. Thus when watching RU-vid (especially on my smart TV) I still get recommendations from it.
The options mentioned are not actually there? The three dots are but not interested or don't recommend channel are not! How frustrating to be constantly bombarded with junk that one does not want to see!
In other words, you can't block the user on RU-vid anymore. Of course you can do it with your own channel and your own videos, but you can't block assholes on other posts apparently.
On PC 0:30 doesn't work for me, I only get the first three options. Add to queue Save to watch later Save to playlist /sadpandaface Edit: I now noticed it works when you're in the "Home" tab but not in the "Explore" tab. RU-vid is so annoying .... xD
😊 2:16 in my YT feed a recommended channel of a famous anorexia woman is repeatedly there. On the 3 dots YT does not give me the option to click on Not Interested or Don't Recommend. So I have clicked Spam and Misleading several times and yet her channel is still recommended... how can I stop this?
Yesterday I got a notification from RU-vid and it's from user he said my mom and I said excuse you Him: lmaoo I went to his channel, I select the 3 dots and I don't see block user anymore that's weird it says hide user from my channel. The updates keep screwing the RU-vid app. I rather just use apple tablet better than my android. Then I'm going to Disabled the RU-vid app cuz it has way too many ads.
TLDR: Find the flag on the profile you want to block, and hit "block user." I still wonder if I will receive comments from blocked users in my feed though. (On other videos)
no longer works - the options when you hit the 3 dots are not included, SUCH BS so sick of being under control of so many companies/people/legislation and also what's up with all the censorship on YT?
To purposely feed you as much content as possible, to siphon your data and sell it off to other companies to get your money. Blocking allows the consumers to exercise their freedoms to avoid that, however YT silently removed it as an option, and now, were stuck with "don't recommend channel" which doesn't do shit lol.
"Don't recommend channel" does nothing. The same channels keep popping into my feed. I've hit " Do not recommend " for joe rogans garbage channel for years but its always in my recommended. It's a placebo button to make you feel like you've done something.
Do you know how to block youtube suggested “playlists” from home page on phone app? I usually click not interested on the videos i dont want to appear. But the playlists doesnt have this option
:35 this is broken and doesn't work. I use don't recommend channel on gross thumbnails that seem to plague YT and immediately after it gets recommended again.
They still get the satisfaction of watching your videos and commenting on them. That's the problem. What youtube should do is have an error message saying "Content Blocked" when they click on your video, and not allow that user to comment either.
NOTICE: As of August 17, 2023, we CANNOT select these options such as "Block User" or 'Not Interested" that you show in your video. Do you know why this is? It is ANNOYING the way I keep seeing videos from channels I do not want.
Hi. Why still receiving update to that channel that i already blocked. Like if they posted new video , i still receiving notifications on youtube. Thats annoying
RU-vid features are stuck in the 2010, we should be able to block certain channels and videos from search results by now. when I search jojo I don't want to see a little girl, I want to see the anime
Hey thanks a lot. Is it possible do it from the history ? I keep watching the same 4-5 video during autoplay at night. Even if already watched they keep replaying, which is getting unbearable. I try to find the 3 dots on the history or even while you are playing one, but no chance. For some reason those channel are not listed in the suggestions, so no three dots to stop them.
It's very easy to find if a channel owner has blocked you. A hint that you've been blocked is that if you are the second person to reply to a comment, it will still say "one reply" below the comment. Look at the video from another person's channel and you'll see your comment is not there. I made the mistake of posting some breaking news on a channel that does a summary of the previous day's news. I thought I was being helpful, but apparently the channel owner took umbrage at me announcing the news before he did. Not long after I found I was blocked. Too many of these RU-vidrs get butthurt over the least thing. You'd think they have the common sense to not block people that have been watching their channel and engaging regularly.
Thanks for this. I've used the method when a specific post from a "channel" comes up so that I may block the channel. But can you please tell me: How can I block a channel when I know the channel name and can go directly to it, having to instead wait for a random story from that channel where I can then say "don't suggest this channel" ? Thanks!
I haven't posted any videos on youtube but I have had people I wanted to block in the comments section. I found under report user there is a hide user form channel option. If I click that will I see any comments from this channel on any of my posts or any other peoples posts?
thanks for the nice guide! one question, if I block a channel using the method explained on 2:09, will the channel still be able to find me and watch my videos and community posts?
1:43 how stupid that is! Then whoever invented that option is no better than the person that comment was banned. It's misleading, decpeting, and not fair. Better let that person know that they're banned and why. So, people are informed and not deceived.
It doesn't work when searching videos, or just when seeing the recommended list at the right when I already saw a video. How about _do_ using a plugin? Which?
I literally just did this and reloaded and I saw the channel again youtube needs to do better I run into things like this all the time the little things that just make it alot tougher to believe that youtube even listens to anybody
Users can know if they are blocked. All they have to do is view the video without being logged in. They can then see that there comment is not listed. Sadly though, it is a HEAVILY abused feature on youtube. It's a channel owners tool that is censorship at its core. Censorship is bad in any form.
Since I don’t have or upload any videos how to stop a channel from responding to my comment ? Basically blocking them from ever mentioning@me or responding to a comment I made ?
So does Block User stop your stuff from coming up in their feed if they are subscribed? I think I have a lot of spammy/ghost subs from a viral video and it’s messed up my channel algorithm so much 😮
really annoying that you can only block them if they're on your main page or comment on your videos. some dude keeps flooding search results and i cant block him since he doesn't show up on the main page. disappointed that this can even happen
@@VEEDCREATORS not him, but where else is there to go? there are options, but they're completely desolate in content and usually only exist momentarily
I'm looking to block channels exactly to avoid videos like these with misleading titles. None of these tips allow you to block a channel. You tell us how to remove them from recommendations or block channel user from commenting on your videos, but the channels won't be blocked and will still show up in your search.
@@VEEDCREATORS Here, let me help you out. Say I look up a video about sea animals, and some Dbag content creator I dont like for whatever reason (maybe disinfo or something), his videos keep popping up. Your method ONLY removes channels from the RECOMMENDED window!
@@alfredharrison597 Let me help you out Alfred, you seem to be upset. In this video, I explain all of the blocking options that are available on RU-vid. I don't create the features. I'm just explaining what the options are. I also explain that the options are not great - but that's all we have. Thanks for your input, bro. I hope you're not too upset.
I was looking for a way to stop seeing certain people in the commenrs sections. I managed to discover that blocking a channel in the chat of a livestream also hides all of their comments on the rest of the site from view, so I'm looking for a way to recreate that without needing to do so in a stream.
It has some bugs, if it goes down too much videos stop appearing until it goes down to a certain point but it is more tolerable to get NSFW videos it is recommended
Its obvious if someone has hidden you from their channel because the number of comments it says are there Will be wrong. It won't include yours. So if a video has 5 comments numbered and you then write a comment, it will still say 5 even though you wrote the sixth comment. So no, its not impossible for someone to realize theyve been hidden at all
There is a channel whose videos although don't appear in my recommendation feed but certainly always comes in my autoplay queue. And that annoying as want to completely block that channel but can't as it is generally not recommended in the feed😭
If you pay attention to the tending page a lot of shit on it most people not interested in so if you’re able to block said channels certain groups will be upset 🤷🏾♂️🤐. Personally the channels I want to block are the ones with people making videos saying why they broke up or some bs like that idc…
