Currently in the US elections are featured in my YouTube feed, and not factual content but rage inducing.

How can I filter that?

YT wants to keep you watching YT, so:

  1. stop watching rage bait videos
  2. watch only videos you want on your feed
  3. thumbs up videos you want more of
  4. "not interested" videos you dont want
  5. hide users that post rage bait material

Hide no longer works. The only thing it does is stop them from showing up in the comments of videos you post.

I kept seeing a commenter in a genre of video I watch, and wanted to get rid of them, but there is no way to block or hide a user except to remove them from the comments on your channel.
