In the past few days, it's recommended:

  • Some guy saying vegan diets don't work (news to me, considering I've been on one for years)
  • A different guy complaining about PETA's new game
  • A woman saying women in modern games are too ugly
  • The same woman saying women don't really want to be in charge of anything
  • Some bullshit from ShoeOnHead
  • Paul Joseph Watson

Not sure where this all came from. I'd actually enjoyed a very long, pleasant streak where it wasn't recommending me any of this trash. Now they're coming out of the woodwork. Every time I see one of these videos I click the "don't recommend this" button, but there are always more.

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.
