Feature description

If a video from a channel we subscribe to does not interest us at the moment, we can either keep it on the “what's new” list endlessly and clutter it up, or mark it as watched, which will prevent us from returning to it in the future (we will forget which ones we actually watched and which ones we marked as such because we were not interested in them at the moment).

I suggest that such videos could be marked with a “hide” or “not interested” option in "what's new" list and in channel page. Such a video should disappear from what's new list and be grayed out in the channel (subscription) tab, which would emphasize that we rejected the video but did not watch it.

Why do you want this feature?

This may not seem like a big difference, but if we want to return to unwatched “rejected” videos, we currently do not have this option – they will be marked as watched like all the others.

Personally, I experience this need many times every day because most of my content is not necessary to view at the time of release and retains its value even many months after publication.. Currently, such videos clutter my “what's new” list, which goes on and on and is filled with videos that I may be interested in in the future, but I don't intend to watch them right now. I think this problem must also affect other users, and introducing this option will greatly contribute to organizing the content of the application.

Interesting proposal. I experience the same problem every time I refresh my feed too. Basically, it would be a new menu option to hide unwatched videos, possibly even app-wide, with a new toggle to show or keep hidden these vids from the UI.

Sometime down the line, after more pressing issues are taken care of, it would be a small quality of life update for devs to consider.
