I shouldn't have to recreate everything when there is already a built-in feature that is very simple to use. The only issue is they removed the automatic client synchronization when collections were introduced.
Favorites DID work before, exactly as designed. Set them on the server for favorites or blocked/removed channels and all clients would update.
All we're asking for is the automatic sync to be restored so we don't need to go to each device when a new channel gets added or changed.
No need to overcomplicate things with Collections when there was a perfectly working feature before
