Unfortunately, the tool is only semi-useful. It does not renew the “no videos from this channel” entry when it is deleted by YouTube, but cuts out the channel or video. This leads to the fact that after 30-50 blocked channels you are permanently sitting in front of a seemingly empty start page, because YouTube still fills it with the channels you don't want to see.
