It just opens the option to mark it as not interested. Would be better if you could select a bunch of videos, Press alt & q and they all be flaged as not interested. So rgn it doesnt rly help that much.

It works, you have to hover on the part BELOW the thumbnail though or it won't work. It will show small text in red that says "Not Interested? Alt+Q" when you are hovering on the right part.
