Blocktube?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/blocktube/

I’ve been looking for something like this too but gave up a few years ago. The ability to block channels, mainly.

But what I can say that works fairly decently, is YouTube’s recommendation system. It just doesn’t work on music if in the music section, go figure.

But like me, on Apple TV mostly, if I hold down the select button on a video, I can select “Don’t recommend channel” and I can confirm that works. This works on other devices too if you click the little 3 dots in the bottom corner of the video to get the same options I’ll describe below.

I’ve done this on a few channels and I don’t think I’ve ever seen those same ones pop up again since. I can think of 3 channels, in particular, that I used to watch a lot but then they made some videos that pissed me right the fuck off, and I selected this after unsubbing and haven’t seen those channels being recommended again. I do see them in collabs on other channels I watch, unfortunately. But thats to be expected because it’s not on their channel.

The other option is “Not interested” and then you can either say “I’ve already seen the video” or “I don’t like this video”. Using either or depending on the reason why you want to train the algorithm for your tastes.

This has worked pretty well for me and my algorithm is actually pretty decent. Why they don’t do this for music is beyond me because it works well elsewhere when YouTube is recommending me stuff.
