[YouTube-API] Re: Yt Data API Query should exclude author

Hello,

The only search parameter that supports negative terms is 'q':

https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/reference#qsp

This will apply the negative search to not only the author value but
also the title, description and keyword values. So if you're trying to
exclude videos uploaded by account XYZ, you'd also end up excluding
videos with XYZ in their titles.

It seems like you're aware of the current limitations to YouTube
Insight. There's no secret approach to working around them. At some
point in the future we plan on making a new YouTube Analytics API
available which should offer more flexibility, but we have nothing to
announce when it comes to that right now.

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, YouTube API Team
