Why does @YouTube not give the option to mute stories? Why do you not give your users a way to permanently mute them? Even when I’ve said “Not interested” to stories from people I’m subscribed to, they still show up on my feed. Why?
While there isn't an option to mute stories. Please send a feedback report directly from YouTube with these steps: https://goo.gl/WdI0BK . While every report may not get a direct response, we review everything and use the details to investigate and fix issues.
