It doesn't block channels anymore, just videos.

I can finally avoid spoilers for Sonic x Shadow Generations releasing on all modern platforms featuring digital deluxe content on October 25 on YouTube!

Не работает =( Иногда может срабатывать, но это редкость, только после входа на сам заблокированный канал. Да и зачем нужна блокировка канала, когда уже заходишь на него? Блокировка должна убирать канал из видимости в ленте, рекомендациях, в автовоспроизведении, чтобы такие заблокированные каналы вообще на глаза не попадались.
