Description

Concise Description

Image

When trying to join CGP Grey's Membership i noticed that i couldn't find the "join" button, or anything to proceed to the payment

checking a bit of inspect i found that "details.css" part of this extension was hiding the button, and nothing in the settings could bring it back, or at least i didn't found anything

if i manually disable the extension the button reappears

'Steps to reproduce' - Which of our features is required for the bug to happen?

Try to join any channel that has membership, "join" button is hidden for any available tier

Since when?

I only checked now so 22/04/2025

Does the bug still happen when you log out of YouTube?

None

..No? Then please paste your yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS. Twice (With the error & Without)

Bug cannot be tested when logged out because the "join this channel" menu requires you to be logged in

Are any errors or related log-messages shown in the Browser-Console? (F12)

no

Tested as the only active extension? (incognito mode or another browser users):

Yes

Expected preferred behavior:

the Join button in the "join this channel" menu should always be visible because if people open this menu it's either to check the membership or to buy it

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Firefox: open a channel's membership menu and confirm that the Join button is hidden while ImprovedTube is enabled. Inspect the extension's details.css to identify the rule hiding the button. Done means the Join button remains visible without disabling the extension.
