Don't know about youtube, but I have a similar experience at twitter. I believe they probably see blocking, muting or reporting as "interaction" and show more of the same as a result.

On youtube on the other hand, I never blocked a channel and almost never see militaristic or right wing stuff (despite following some gun nerds, because I think they are funny).

Sane here. I will just skip over them. At most I will block a video I actually already watched on another platform like Patreon.
