The recommendations you get from Twitch could be based on the content you have watched. Also, they may be the most popular streams at the moment. If an unwanted channel keeps showing up, Twitch’s Not Interested option can help you get rid of it.
Now a message will appear, telling you that this particular channel is removed. It comes with an undo option.
With this method to block a Twitch channel, two facts are worth mentioning. The removed channel and its content are still accessible as normal. Twitch just stops recommending it. If you mark a lot of channels or categories, etc. as not interested, Twitch may stops recommending.
Here's how to clear your Not Interested feedback. Go to your Twitch settings. Under Recommendations, go to the Channel Feedback section and click the X mark next to the Twitch channel that you want to unblock.
There is a native way to block recommended channels on Twitch. There are also web browser extensions to help you hide channels that you don’t like.
Hide unwanted streams on Twitch was one of them. It used to be available as an independent extension. Now it's only available as a userscript to be used with userscript managers such as Tampermonkey, which is not that straightforward.
Luckily, you can use Unwanted Twitch offered by kwaschny.net. The extension is available for Google Chrome and Firefox. Below is how to use it on Chrome.
Now the unwanted Twitch channel is blocked.
Here's how to unblock it. On any Twitch page, click the extension's icon in your browser's toolbar and choose Manage Blacklist. Under Blacklisted Channels, click the Remove button next to the channel you need to unblock. To unblock all blocked Twitch channels, click the Clear button. Now click the Save button to save the change. As you may have noticed, you can also block channels on Twitch by manually adding their names to this blacklist.
You can effortlessly disable/enable this extension.
The extension can also help you hide unwanted Twitch streams on Firefox and Chrome by blocking specific categories or tags. You can easily blacklist them by hand.
Alternatively, go to your home page. Click the X mark to hide a category. The X mark will also show up next to each tag, and you can click it to hide a tag.
