As far as I can tell, there is no way to block and individual channel from YouTube recommendations right? Or turn off recommendations? Can one even block a video?

So, it seems that there is no way to tell YouTube to BLOCK "white rationalist" blah blah videos appearing on a minors' recommendations. You can try to dislike stuff and pray to the algorithm deities. No real controls―which would be *so* easy to implement—as far as I can tell.

YouTube is a key hub of culture diffusion globally and it's helping set the world on fire. It happens slowly so harder to measure but eventually there will be studies and UN reports and documentation of its ugly role. This, not the moonshots, will be how its history is written.

Maybe there are convoluted ways that already involved parents can manage this but that isn't helpful at all. Recommendations, autoplay and everything in this trash fire should be off by default and be very limited when on. Yes, not so lucrative but it's the only responsible path.

Okay okay. I was just kidding. Or, illuminating pt you referred to. I suppose YouTube video blocking should be more accessible.

Yep! At the moment we’re not even sure if exists.

Deleting your history after each visit helps a lot, I've found.

YouTube interface is one of the worst, and most badly managed, ever (says guy who managed to teach over 1,000 computer classes and write a dozen software manuals, before we even got to this century).
