 this isn't even the worst - on YouTube you can't even block a channel from appearing in your search results ! ! !

you need a 3rd party Chrome Extension to do that and i'm not sure they are even working properly for me.

there was also a period of time google wouldn't allow me to remove "entertainment" from their google news panel.  i was forced to read about Kardashians and Meghan Markle every day !

google thinks it's their right to shove content down your throat even when you're begging them to stop.

and a lot of developers here sadly assume that NOSTR has to work like big-tech platforms they're used to.  but NOSTR isn't a propaganda machine like YouTube and Google and it also isn't meant to be used by Facebook Grandmas either.

why not lean into the fact that NOSTR is different and exploit the fact that average NOSTR user is more tech savvy and will be more likely to try to curate their feed.
