feat(YouTube - Comments): Hide 'Comments by members' header

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

Feature description

A patch which hides the 'Comments by members' header.

Motivation

YouTube already provides a comments filter by which the user can filter the members comments. Also, it'll make the comments section look more clean.

The litho component to hide the header is sponsorships_comments_header.eml. The only issue is, as seen in the above attached screenshot, the gray separator at the bottom doesn't get hidden.

I couldn't find a separate litho for the separator only. So, the color code for that separator needs to be changed, which I don't know is possible and is just a suggestion from my end.

Edit: After a second sweep, I got the separate litho for the separator. It is sponsorships_comments_footer.eml.

Doesn't this only hide the header and not just the comment and thus makes it incorrectly look like it's a regular comment and not one pushed more by YouTube?

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

I don't think so. Just because someone decided to support a channel by becoming a member doesn't make their comment irrelevant. Also, they will still have the channel badge beside their name for users to identify that they're a channel member.

Does YouTube push comments by members higher than other comments?

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

I'm not sure. In the screenshot attached channel, on his last 3-4 videos, there's atleast 1 'Comments by members' comment in the first 10 comments. But it's not consistent, as there is a chance that there could be one in the top 3 comments and then there's not. So I don't think they do push it and it works similar to that of normal comments but with an extra header (which is unnecessary).

I still don't know how to link an issue to a PR. #3317 .
