Problem Description
The distraction free settings were recently expanded with "Hide Videos From Channels" and "Hide Videos And Playlists Containing Text" options. This is great and I have found these options very useful, but the problem is the list of channels and keywords hidden are very prominently displayed on the settings page, and channels and keywords I do not want to see or think about show up while I'm trying to change other freetube settings. I'm sure that I'm not the only one with this issue, and I imagine this feature would be very useful for people struggling with trauma or addiction, or victims of abuse; if not for this primary limitation. Attached is a screenshot of how the page looks currently with placeholder channels and keywords.
Proposed Solution
This feature would be more able to be utilized by everyone if the list of hidden channels / keywords were made into a hidden submenu that you use a click to open in order to make removals. The initially hidden state makes complete sense for a feature for hiding the data entered. Suggestion screenshots attached.
Alternatives Considered
Another alternative that could be lower-effort would be something similar to a spoiler tag, where the entries still appear but are initially grey-ed out and require a click to view. Or even a "Hide Hidden Channels List" toggle switch would suffice.

Additional Information
Freetube is powerful software and the distraction free settings allow it the ability to filter content incredibly effectively, and this can be priceless for the comfort of many people. Freetube is software people use to be relaxed and entertained, and this ability it has is already a huge improvement over standard youtube browsing, it just needs the last little push to make hidden channels a fully-fledged feature for staying sane on the internet.
