How about also letting me remove these fucking racist Prager U ads I keep getting over gaming channels.
Sorry for the bump and if this has already been posted elsewhere, but can confirm that this is now live for me in the Youtube Android app (though not yet on their website).
"Not interested" has existed for a long time, but "don't recommend channel" is new.

Good. Fuck off Jontron and Joe Rogan.
And I can stop getting CA recommends whenever I click on a Lindsey Ellis video.
Exactly.

Thank God. I get spammed with annoying Linus Tech tips all.the time. Even pressing Not Interested still shows up for me.
Google gives up.

Right? I can't scroll through recommendations without seeing unbox therapy infomercials even though i never watch it.
I've only watched a couple of MetalJesusRocks videos, did he do something shitty?
I wonder if this gets extended to the not recommended section of the TV app. Whenever I click over to the "gaming" tab at the top, I am greeted by videos from alt-right shitheads.
I just don't like his face for some reason. I hate to say that. Like he seems really smug and the few videos of his that I've seen weren't anything special. He barely reviews things. Infomercial is the right word.
He does pal around with AlphaOmegaSin but he himself has never done anything other that I know of.
Thank God.
Now I can stop having YT recommend me videos from Gamergate channels because I watched a Let's Play.

Yo, I totally understand Unbox Therapy because he's a joke but what do you have against Marques? He's pretty even handed IMO and his video production values are amazing. Not sure what your hang up is.
I went on a tear of sport bloopers and that led down a dark path of autoplay one night. The thing i couldnt handle was googling some hormone treatment I overheard recently and having to be served some fucking paint roller with needles on it to make my beard fuller in every preroll add. Turned off ad-sense, and wanna uninstall chrome.
I can finally stop it recommending that one "The Last Jedi is a complete cinematic failure" video with Laura Dern's face photoshopped to look like she's sneering at her own movie?
when they come up in recommended i just hit the 3 dots and say not interested, when they give options as to why you can see what caused it.
in the Creator studio section of the site you can hit community and add things to blocked keywords, it didnt seem like it would really apply but lots of "REACT TO" content is now not showing up in my feed because of it.
I have my own history with REACT and went to dire lengths to stop seeing that shit anywhere in my feed. They were scrubbing my gmail for recommendation shit at one point and I couldn't handle it.
Just a heads up, on search results, you can exclude a term from appearing with the "-" operator in front of the word you want excluded.
oh great awesome i figured the - trick would work but i didnt wanna speak out of turn
He basically took up for PewDiePie after he said the n-word. So he lost me there and it kinda confirmed what I expected about him. He kinda just goes with the flow, and doesn't really speak out against anything like most popular YouTubers. They're all afraid to upset people so they go "both sides" more often than not.
I think I discovered this myself. For some reason I kept getting recommendations from a channel called the Completionist, which I found quite obnoxious. I clicked 'not interested' and then YT asked me why, and I chose 'I hate this channel' (or whatever it was) and since then nothing. Was quite a while ago, too.
He frequently features AlphaOmegaSin in his intro and recently while at E3 took a picture with Boogie which he included in his E3 video. That's as far as I know in terms of shittyness. I don't like it and I contemplate rather I should stop watching him, but I don't know if he's aware those two people are bad or not.
EDIT: Just found out one of his crew (Radical Reggie) put out a transphobic video, MJR said he has nothing to do with Reggie's videos but that he's not going to tell him what to do either. Of course he will still be part of his crew and be in his videos.
