[Feature Request] If any match is found on the reccomended videos section of any part of YouTube when logged in, automatically perform YT's own built-in "Not interested in video" and/or "Don't reccomend channel" on said matches

Self-explanatory. I often tend to use YouTube's official app when on my tablet devices, which obviously don't have an easy way to instantly block videos I don't want, without using YouTube's own "Not interested in video" or "Don't recommend channel" options (which are of dubious efficiency). Usually, this wouldn't be a problem for me to just use YT's own features, but the thing regarding BlockTube in particular is that I'm ONLY using it to basically block any and all videos regarding my debilitating triggers. Because of this, I'm worried that any videos blocked via BlockTube will only block addon-wide, and not register for YouTube itself when logged in on my browser - i.e. I'm afraid that videos blocked via BlockTube have a chance to show outside via YouTube official app.

Therefore, I'd like there to be an option for BlockTube to activate YT's own "Not interested in video" or "Don't recommend channel" options when matches are found.

Thank you for your suggestion, unfortunately this will require extensive re-work of the code to make this happen. However, in the latest version I added an toggle setting in the extension options page that'll make auto clicking said options automatically for you whenever you click Blocktube's usual "Block Channel / Block Video"

I see... thank you anyway.

This would be incredibly useful, being able to block things manually is a great feature but Youtube recommendations have gotten so bad that it would be really great to autoblock channels/videos with keywords. I spend more time blocking channels about the same topics every single day than I do actually watching videos these days :( Being able to have a list of keywords that would autoblock channels would be absolutely perfect.
