- Instead of 2 ways to display ads (DOM injection + React method) and having both of them clash, just do it the predictable React way.
- Augment the existing React version to support tile layout + ability to place in last visible slot.
- Consolidate styling code to scss ... DOM manipulations were making it even harder to maintain.
- Removed the need to check for ad-blockers for now. It was being executed every time an ad is displayed, and now that we are displaying ads in more places, the gains doesn't justify the performance loss. Also, it wasn't being done for Recommended ads anyway, so the inconsistency probably means it's not needed in the first place.
Other known issues fixed:
- double ad injection when changing language via nag.
- additional "total-blocking-time" due to ads at startup removed.
- fixed ads not appearing in mobile homepage until navigated away and back to homepage.
- enable ads in channel page.
- support for both List and Tile layout.

The `useDualLayout` junk is super confusing to maintain and no longer extensible.
At the expense of making the "livestream + regular" list no longer seamlessly continuous when expanded (or when there just a handful of livestreams), use the new `subSection` feature to inject the livestream tiles. This is far easier to manage and tweak.
## Ticket
948 wildwest: always show boosting message, move next to category name
## Changes
1. Make "Show less livestreams" share the same space as "Boosted by LBC", instead of only showing either 1.
- It's a bit troublesome to move it next to the filter without tweaking the generic `ClaimListDiscover`, so I think this would be a good compromise.
2. Fix "show less livestreams" being super tiny in mobile.
- I think it is caused by some component-specific changes are being applied at the global level (not sure).
## Root-cause?
It doesn't happen on the commit before the Theme change. However, it's possible that the y-pos is reset since we are indeed unmounting the dual list and re-mounting the single list.
Maybe the css got more efficient and we ended up painting more frames than before.
## Fix
Fix by stashing and restoring the the y-position during the expansion.
* Discover: add persistence to the livestream section's fold state
The persisted value should only apply when livestream section is needed, hence the need for 2 state variables.
Also renamed the variables for clarity.
* Discover: add "show less livestreams" at upper-right
Wanted to put it as an injected tile, but requires more work to do it in a general-purpose way, as opposed to a hardcoded way like how ads are currently injected. It also needs to work on both Tile and List format.
So ... just place the button at the upper-right for now. Although a bit odd, at least it'll be a consistent place (i.e. position won't be affected by live tile count).
## Ticket
155 All live streams show on tag explore/discovery page + content type filters don't work there
`!dynamicRouteProps` wasn't good enough to determine if it's Wild West. Use direct path instead.
## Why
- No memo required (no transformation).
- `makeSelect*` is an incorrect pattern.
## Changes
- Replaced makeSelectClientSetting with selectClientSetting.
- Remove unused selectShowRepostedContent.
* ❌ Remove old method of displaying active livestreams
Completely remove it for now to make the commit deltas clearer.
We'll replace it with the new method at the end.
* Fetch and store active-livestream info in redux
* Tiles can now query active-livestream state from redux instead of getting from parent.
* ⏪ ClaimTilesDiscover: revert and cleanup
## Simplify
- Simplify to just `uris` instead of having multiple arrays (`uris`, `modifiedUris`, `prevUris`)
- The `prevUris` is for CLS prevention. With this removal, the CLS issue is back, but we'll handle it differently later.
- Temporarily disable the view-count fetching. Code is left there so that I don't forget.
## Fix
- `shouldPerformSearch` was never true when `prefixUris` is present. Corrected the logic.
- Aside: prefix and pin is so similar in function. Hm ....
* ClaimTilesDiscover: factor out options
## Change
Move the `option` code outside and passed in as a pre-calculated prop.
## Reason
To skip rendering while waiting for `claim_search`, we need to add `React.memo(areEqual)`. However, the flag that determines if we are fetching `claim_search` (fetchingClaimSearchByQuery[]) depends on the derived options as the key.
Instead of calculating `options` twice, we moved it to the props so both sides can use it.
It also makes the component a bit more readable.
The downside is that the prop-passing might not be clear.
* ClaimTilesDiscover: reduce ~17 renders at startup to just 2.
* ClaimTilesDiscover: fill with placeholder while waiting for claim_search
## Issue
Livestream claims are fetched seperately, so they might already exists. While claim_search is running, the list only consists of livestreams (collapsed).
## Fix
Fill up the space with placeholders to prevent layout shift.
* Add 'useFetchViewCount' to handle fetching from lists
This effect also stashes fetched uris, so that we won't re-fetch the same uris during the same instance (e.g. during infinite scroll).
* ⏪ ClaimListDiscover: revert and cleanup
## Revert
- Removed the 'finalUris' stuff that was meant to "pause" visual changes when fetching. I think it'll be cleaner to use React.memo to achieve that.
## Alterations
- Added `renderUri` to make it clear which array that this component will render.
- Re-do the way we fetch view counts now that 'finalUris' is gone. Not the best method, but at least correct for now.
* ClaimListDiscover: add prefixUris, similar to ClaimTilesDiscover
This will be initially used to append livestreams at the top.
* ✅ Re-enable active livestream tiles using the new method
* doFetchActiveLivestreams: add interval check
- Added a default minimum of 5 minutes between fetches. Clients can bypass this through `forceFetch` if needed.
* doFetchActiveLivestreams: add option check
We'll need to support different 'orderBy', so adding an "options check" when determining if we just made the same fetch.
* WildWest: limit livestream tiles + add ability to show more
Most likely this behavior will change in the future, so we'll leave `ClaimListDiscover` untouched and handle the logic at the page level.
This solution uses 2 `ClaimListDiscover` -- if the reduced livestream list is visible, it handles the header; else the normal list handles the header.
* Use better tile-count on larger screens.
Used the same method as how the homepage does it.
