Blocking display of member only videos

Open andejp12 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

PROBLEM: Being shown thumbnails to videos that are members only and I'm not a channel member

SOLUTION: Would it be possible to see if a user is a member of a channel and if not, block the member only videos from being displayed?

ALTERNATIVES: A way to block all member only videos if it's not possible to check the current status of membership to a channel

RELEVANCE / SCOPE: I think a small percentage of youtube users are channel members so blocking these videos seems like it would help most people.

"SIDE EFFECTS": You wouldn't see member only videos so they wouldn't be able to entice people to get a channel membership.

CONTEXT: // Thank you!

SHORT Table (Summary)
Problem Want member only videos to be blocked from display
Solution prevent videos with members only tag from being displayed
Alternatives Unsure
Scope Most users
Side effects Member only videos are no longer able to entice people to get channel membership

hi! & thanks @andejp12
Please provide a sample with right click on it "inspect element". copying the element and also the "full xpath"

Are these videos any related / interesting (from creators you subscribed?) (this can come with two options: hide or make them smaller and more obvious, so less annoying, leaving a bit of chance that any of them will be worth paying)

Hi, sorry for the delay but of course right after your reply I hadn't seen one in a while.

These are from channels that I'm subscribed to but not a member of the channel.

Here is the element

Mix
Now playing

Mix - Cannons - Hurricane (Official Video)

<ytd-badge-supported-renderer class="inline-metadata-badge style-scope

ytd-video-meta-block" hidden="" system-icons="">

AND, the full Xpath
