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?

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.

It’s terrible how little control you have in almost any video platform. As a parent of a toddler, I want to curate the videos he sees. Instead, I’m trying to explain and distract when he wants “that one.”

I’ve turned that off so many times across multiple devices. Somehow it always seems to end up back on.

Also Google has this page, though I suspect it is for a specific YouTube app for kids? I don't know the specifics https://support.google.com/youtubekids/answer/7178746?hl=en …

There have been some looks at how YT pushes more and more extreme recommendations like https://buff.ly/2GbQ5Fj from
@NYMag. If you ever do view a video to learn about an opposing viewpoint, it seems like your recommendations are going to be all conspiracy from there on out.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Yeah, I've reported stuff, but I still get bombarded with Prager U ads every time I watch my history videos.
