You can fix your YouTube algorithm by going into your watching history and deleting the videos you don’t want used for recommendations!

Also, tap the three dots on videos you don't want to watch and select don't recommend channel or not interested.

There's this one streamer/YouTuber I used to watch a lot, but after some controversy I didn't feel comfortable watching him anymore. For months now I've been telling YouTube to stop recommending his channel and it still pops up.

... Fucking really? OMG, that's good to know!

Yeah, like a month ago my YT recommendations were dry, plus and I wanted to delete all my search history and turn it off, but I couldn't do that without clearing my watch history too. So I did that and the algorithm was fixed!

The only problem was that it recommended videos I already watched.

Also, use a private window or app for viewing videos outside of the "norm". I do this for pretty much everything I click through on Lemmy and some channels I just don't want to ruin my feed.

I used to do that on Netflix as well
