Blocking is the account-level version of hiding. Where Hide Post takes down one post, Block hides every post from a creator across your collections at once. Use it for a spammer, a competitor, or anyone whose content you never want surfaced.

Block vs hide
Hide Post removes one post from the live widget but keeps it in the collection. Block hides everything from that creator across collections in one move. Reach for Block when the problem is the account, not a single post.
