Amazing, just wish I could like or dislike videos

It's very nice and I want to use it, but there is one problem stopping me from doing that. It also removes all video's from channels. I want to be able to browse youtube by channel, not through the recommendation algorithm. So if you could show only the channel content, it would be nice.

Thanks for the great plugin.
Suggestions: can you please give us a option of hiding shorts when we search for something.
Also, can we see only few search results not all. Thanks. YouTube was killing me.
