Concise Description

The blocklist feature was very useful for me to hide videos and channels I would rather not see in my recomendations. However, it stopped working at all when Youtube updated the thumbnail frames. Now if you click on the "blocklist" button on the thumbnail, nothing happens, the video doesn't get added to the blocklist, nor does it when you dislike the video. It does add channels to the blocklist but there is no effect, you can still see blocklisted channels' videos just fine.
