Sometimes, YouTube will show you random videos from channels that you are not interested in. When you see videos from those channels, you will get frustrated, and you can’t browse peacefully on YouTube. Luckily, on YouTube, you have the Block option to block YouTube channels from your feed. The blocking feature in YouTube works in the similar way it works on other social media platforms. If you encounter videos and channels that you don’t want, use this block feature.
