Blocking display of member only videos
⚬ 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!

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

AND, the full Xpath
