Hello Stranger, In this article, we will explore how you can take control of your YouTube experience by blocking channels that don’t align with your interests.
You may see a channel out of curiosity or against your vision. Moreover, in the worst case, they might upload videos with false information to insult a particular property or person.
So, if you want to avoid those negativities, YouTube provides features to block it.
Can you block YouTube channels?
- Yes, you can block the YouTube channels that you’re not interested in.
Let’s see how to do it in the following steps.
Blocking YouTube Channel
When you block someone’s channel on YouTube, you can’t access their activities, such as videos, shorts, Live, and even community posts.
YouTube has features such as “Don’t Recommend Channel,” which blocks channels. Once you use that, you can still do the below-mentioned things regarding those channels.
- You can search the channel in YouTube Search Results even after being Blocked.
- You can see it on other websites, and it is in YouTube-encoded video format.
- On other YouTube accounts apart from your blocked account.
YouTube considers, “Hey buddy, I understand you’re not interested in that channel, and hence, I will not recommend anything on your homepage and suggestion.”
From there, YouTube improvises its suggestions and recommendations based on your new activity.
Note: Remember that blocking someone’s channel doesn’t remove the likes or comments that you made, but you can delete them manually.
In the meantime, if the content is misleading the YouTube community guidelines, then kindly report the channels.
Okay, let’s see how to do it with the step-by-step picturization guide.
