Feature description

Content that is paywalled behind a membership, that doesn't have video length, should have option to be hide.

Why do you want this feature?

Creators started pushing paid content more and more, which congests the subscription feed with unwatchable content.

I agree on ways I simply couldn't more.

[veganomy]

There's an easy way to analyse whether a video is paid or free. The paid one simply doesn't have views on it. So provide an option to hide all the videos without view meters on them.

That is not necessary, there is already an API to check whether videos are only available to members, see #12074

[veganomy]

So there's a PR that was never pushed ? I hope it does.

I hope this gets implemented, it's been really irritating me when the paywalled stuff pops up

[RedIODev]

I subscribe myself to this too. Recently one creator I'm following has started uploading an existing course onto YouTube for his members and my feed is completely blown by it. It's pretty irritating so adding a hiding option is the obvious solution. It shouldn't be hard to implement because filtering the feed is implemented and newpipe has an api to check rather a video is behind a pay wall. While we are wt it it would be nice to be able to hide live streams from feed too.

Weirdly for me 80% of the videos don't show length, so don't base it on that.

+1 for this. Lots of members only content and it's annoying not knowing if it is or not before clicking.

Could it be a setting to hide them alongside the other chechboxes for fully watched, partially watched and upcoming?

[lameventanas]

+1 from me too
