Listening to recordings or watching videos containing kufr

Q: The questions are mainly how videos and recordings are regarded. I am from the Hanafi Madhab.

1. What is the ruling about listening to a recording which contains kufr? For example, I use a video blocker on YouTube and listen to recordings about various things whose topic is halaal. However, sometimes/maybe a lot of the participants of the discussion say things which are kufr or sin.

2. Is watching them supporting them, because of increasing the clicks or like watching a movie about only kufr or listening to a song with kufr? What if the channel has videos about haraam or kufr contents and has a video description with false things? What if the video description has symbols like the symbol of LGBTQ...? 

3. What is the ruling of loading a pdf or a news website with kufr? 

Studying astronomy

Q: "Is astrological study forbidden for us." I mean can we study it just to gain some new knowledge, not meant to use it for fortune telling... Just for getting knowledge about the effect of heavenly bodies on our natural behaviour.
