props.data.collaborators[0].id: Does that mean the first guy (XXX and YYY: XXX) or 2nd one (YYY`)

Collaborators array always contains the original author as the first element

It's either (author is not a field, but you get the idea):
{ author: 'XXX', collaborators: [] }
or
{ author: null, collaborators: ['XXX', 'YYY'...] }

Seems a bit weird that it will only block for the main author and not secondary collaborators.

Ex:

  • Block Deji ( UCrqsNpKuDQZreGaxBL_a5Jg )
  • Go to KSI home page
  • Still see KSI and Deji videos

I'm not sure why it is decided like this, but this behavior was described here #7871 (comment)

@efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc Any chance you remember the reason? I'm thinking it was the data not being available for the other channels but it looks like the data for the other channels is available now

I could easily see people wanting to block content from e.g. MrBeast but would be interested to watch content where they are a collaborator in, especially in genres they arent publishing their content in themselves e.g. science, podcasts, business

channelsHidden.value.some(ch => ch.name === props.data.author) ||
forbiddenTitles.value.some((text) => lowerCaseAuthor.includes(text))) {
// hide videos by author
return false
