feat(YouTube): Hide the YouTube/Channel guidelines in live chat

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

Feature description

Everytime a viewer pops in and out of a live chat, the first comment they see is the youtube/channel guideline message.

Motivation

For a first time viewer, this can be acceptable. But if the user joined the livestream at some point and left and came back, to only see the same guideline shown to them is kinda unnecessary. So a patch which can turn off this guideline, all in all, would be appreciative for someone who looks forward to the chats reaction and not the repetative guidelines when viewing in and out of the stream. Especially if it's an indie streamer without much viewers and chat interaction is low, the guidelines would stay on the screen of the user who's viewing the stream.

I tried to capture the litho component but due to the stream being live implied constant messages and the filter getting filled with component tags to hide the live chat messages instead of the required one. I'll try again and see if I can find the necessary one or not.

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

I couldn't find the litho component related to hiding these guidelines as they are somehow part of the chat and yet not, I guess.

But I accidentally came across a vertical live video which had a similar guideline and was able to capture it's litho component instead. viewer_engagement_message

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

I think the guidelines are not litho components and hence can't be captured using logcat. The lines which come under live_chat_text_message are simply messages from viewers and does not hide the guidelines even though it's shown within the live chat.

Also, should I open a separate issue for this?

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

@LisoUseInAIKyrios or @oSumAtrIX, any suggestions?

[oSumAtrIX]

Did you try hiding the component? If it's not possible, a regular Android view patch would be necessary

Which one?

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

I could not get the guidelines to hide using any custom filter. A view patch is probably the only option.
