I wish YouTube allowed for blacklisting words in video titles for your feed. I swear if I see another “*insert vtuber* broke everyone by saying *insert mildest sexual innuendo*” I’m gonna loose it. What also sucks is that YouTube shorts got entirely integrated into Twitch, so the clips you see posted of any streamer is most likely some 3rd party clipper channel leaching off the actual streamer. Which means spam goes up, quality goes down. Sure its awesome for the streamer, they get a lot of traction and new followers but at the cost of their content flooding other platforms through reposts.
Yeah, having a way to define certain themes, tags or whatever to be completely blocked off would be great. My first use would be for blocking certain music, but also most roblox and minecraft gaming content. I end up watching mostly english gaming content because pt-br seems completely dominated by roblox and minecraft, the algorithm almost never suggests actually similar channels or videos and there’s a never ending number of roblox shit.
I suspect most of the roblox shit came because of that People Make Games video, which is super ironic.

I hate that youtube lacks any means to block entire channels
edit: i’m dumb, you can block channels
I make pretty liberal use of the channel blocks
