    Ironically, you marking them as not interested and reporting them probably counts as engagement to show those videos more often.

      No, YouTube just has an (among other examples) “young white western male” problem.

      The algorithm works hard to jam you into a pigeon hole no matter how abhorrent you find the pigeon shit contained therein.

        It’s an AI problem. Because the algorithm only looks at things you have done, which after some time include you looking at its recommendations, it cannot see past the bucket it has you in.

          It’s more about your demographic. Doesn’t matter if you’ve never watched anything even remotely related to JRE, if it’s popular around your local area it’ll be recommended to you.

      It shouldn’t, I don’t see them anymore by choosing the don’t recommend this channel to me anymore. And I do bij so watch a ton of bjj videos, so anytime some channel pops up that uses his clips it’s recommended to me. Still his own channel and that main clipping channel are things I haven’t seen in a long time.
