Whitelisted by YouTube. Still no app to let the user whitelist channels or videos themselves. Only blacklist, which is useless with the amount of channels on YouTube.


Blacklisting doesn't even work. I blocked a channel and clicked "not interested" on about 10 videos and still keep getting videos from that channel


Education google apps users can whitelist videos for student google accounts on their domain, but I don’t think it actually works because I’ve approved videos and my students still can’t access them.

Also google doesn’t officially consider youtube to be part of google apps for education even though it has the approval system for YouTube videos.


With white list for average users... how could Youtube recommend videos to people? They can't possibly give up the right to show you stuff they want, there is so much money to be made from this.
