How can I filter that?

Watch videos you want to see
Click the dots > Not Interested in videos you don’t
Enjoy your tailored feed with only stuff you want to see!
My YouTube algorithm is fantastic. I never see politics because if I want to watch a political video, I open it in a private window
I also find that marking stuff with “not interested” works pretty well. Some far right bullshit pops up occasionally but it’s quickly dealt with.
Yeah, with a small amount of effort you can really make your YouTube feed work for you. I have a main account full of engineering, computers, and misc entertainment (sketch comedy channels + Atrioc) and a separate one for my work laptop that’s just music. Both feeds are pretty fantastic but the recommendations on latter is especially good - I’ve found a ton of new artists including some with only a few hundred followers (shout out to folk singer Alexander Guy!)
i forgot about disliking videos and channels! That might fix my problem right away. THank you
Also, you can tell YT to never recommend a channel. It’s permanent (can’t undo) but well worth the use.
I think if you sub then unsub it resets that block if you do it by mistake
It might take some time but if you don’t want to start fresh with a new account, mark everything you don’t want as Not Interested as they pop up until your feed is clean! It’s worth the effort imo
In addition, if you see a video like this, I prefer to select “don’t recommend channel”
Also i find that removing stuff you want to avoid from your watch history helps
I’ll try that on my AppleTV. Wait…
Can’t help ya there. Can you at least dislike a video on the AppleTV app?
Yeah I think I can, but I find that unfair to the content creator who may have otherwise created a good video. What I may end up doing is turning off video history, but sometimes it’s useful to easily pull up a video I’ve seen recently.
Wouldn’t that just give you the default slop on the homepage?
I wouldn’t feel bad about disliking a video unless it has like 50 views. It’s just a blip in the sea of reactions
It would show my subscriptions as well.
