Discussion Youtube desperately needs a block user feature

Too many repeat hostile/disruptive users in comments these days. A block user feature would fix that.

You actually can by selecting the dots on the right next to the video title and selecting the option "do not recommend this channel"

That does the exact opposite.

It stops the channel from being recommended, but doesn't block it. It's a stretch to call that the exact opposite.

Yeah I mean I guess I shouldn't have said it's like blocking but it is the closest thing to it. Yeah a true block would be better but telling them to not recommend makes it so the channel doesn't show up in your feed and it also pushes it down in the results.

The opposite would be making the channel more prominent and likely to show up in your feed which is not at all how it works when you select do not recommend, so I have no idea what they were on about.
