Agreed! Excluding locations is the update I would most like to see. It would be super helpful and shouldn’t require too much work on the back end to accomplish.
I’m not sure how much consideration feature request votes are given, I did request this feature in another thread and nobody from TH ever responded. Maybe if more people vote for it they will chime in and add it to their roadmap.
