Fall out from https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/2423

Users should have the ability to block certain tags they don't want to see. These would be passed into the not_in_tags claim search parameter.

The above is pretty easy - deciding how and where to display blocked tags in the current UI is more involved. Dragging them into buckets might be nice.

Users might want "multis" or views they can customize that each include or exclude different sets of tags. Then each view would have its own list of followed and blocked tags.

This feature was recently requested by a user on Twitter.

Seeing lots of requests for this recently. We may need to limit the number of blocked tags based on sdk performance, but we should consider it soon so users can filter out content they are not interested in.

Blocking tags isn't going to fix the problem of tags rapidly becoming worthless. It's a bandaid fix that people are asking for because they are seeing tags become worthless.

I think tags becoming worthless is a different issue than this one.
Blocking tags should be a feature IMHO. I too would want to block certain topics so that I don't have to deal with them.

EDIT: this could actually improve the situation as publishers will be less inclined to spam all sort of tags in fear that their content might get blocked by a filter thus creating a self-balancing environment.
