Description
⚬ PROBLEM: If I dislike a video enough that I click the X to block it, I don't ever want to see the channel either.
⚬ SOLUTION: Option to change functionality of X button to instantly block channel and not just the video.
⚬ ALTERNATIVES: None. The struggle is real.
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE: Everyone would benefit from this except click bait content producers.
⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS": Accidental blocking needs a temporary popup or something to quickly undo it.
⚬ CONTEXT: I ditched Iridium when it began to require logging in to google to function.
