Description
Concise Description
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

Inspect the extension's details.css to identify the rule hiding the button. Done means the Join button remains visible without disabling the extension.
