How to block Ali-A on YouTube

What is Ali-A?

Ali-A is one of the longest-running Fortnite and Call of Duty channels, mixing gameplay, update news and reaction videos. His exaggerated thumbnails and intro became a meme of their own.

Is Ali-A appropriate for kids?

Language is mostly clean and the gameplay itself is unremarkable. What parents notice is the packaging: every video is framed as shocking news or a must-see event, which trains compulsive checking. Videos are long and daily, so watch time adds up quickly around game updates.

Whether that fits your child is your call. If you decide to block the channel, here is how.

Block Ali-A with Vidward

1. 1
   Create your free Vidward account. The trial runs 7 days with no credit card.
2. 2
   Add your child in the dashboard and link their computer by typing the one-time code into the Vidward extension in their browser.
3. 3
   Open your child's Filters tab, search for Ali-A and block the channel.
4. 4
   Done. Ali-A disappears from search, the home feed, recommendations and direct links in their browser, and every change you make syncs to their device.

Does YouTube have a built-in way to block a channel?

Not really. YouTube's "Don't recommend channel" option only trims the home feed. Ali-A still shows up in search results, in Shorts and through direct links, and your child can undo the setting in two clicks. Restricted Mode filters some mature content but cannot target a specific channel. That gap is exactly what Vidward covers.
