How to block Brent Rivera on YouTube

What is Brent Rivera?

Brent Rivera came up on Vine and built one of the biggest clean-comedy operations on YouTube. He makes skits, pranks and challenges with his sister Lexi and a recurring friend group known as the Amp squad, at high volume across several channels.

Is Brent Rivera appropriate for kids?

Language is clean and the tone is family-marketed. The characteristics parents weigh are the constant crush and dating framing between cast members, story lines that are staged but presented as real life, and a steady stream of sponsored content woven into the skits. It is high-volume, low-substance viewing that the algorithm serves heavily to preteens.

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

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. Brent Rivera 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.
