Yeah, honestly the "don't recommend this" button barely does anything anymore, I've resorted to straight up blocking channels. The algo seems to fixate on stupid shit and not let go of it. As a personal anecdote, at some point it kept recommending me stuff related to a specific anime, I never watched videos about that anime, I won't watch anime, so on, after blocking those channels on sight it settled down.
Which anime was it?
bocchi the rock
Do the channels you block show up in your search results?
I've blocked the fake trailer sites and an anorexic youtuber but if I search an unrelated topic they still show up in the results.
same for me, seems like "block this channel, do not show it to me ever again" gets interpreted as the new "show me less of this", a friend told me (and take it with a grain of salt) that for them channels get automatically unblocked after a couple months, i didn't notice that, yet
The blocktube extension will actually block the channel. Even if I search Jordan Peterson's name his channel doesn't come up.
