    I’m so fucking sick of youtube recommending his garbage, I spend most of my time on breadtube so i don’t know how or why youtube decided I want to be reminded this waste of oxygen exists.

      Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I have an idea why a major US corporation would absolutely love to shove a pro-Zionism and pro-fascism streamer down everyone’s throats.

        No particular conspiracy theory needed - because it generates clicks and views, even if you dislike the content. This thread itself being an example.

        I’ve noticed he does a shit ton of videos on everything. I’ve looked up recent events like the NDP race card thing that happened recently in Canada and he was one of the only sources.

        I think he has no life, and all he does is youtube videos, then he must get suggested by the algorithm that indexes his videos.

      You can “don’t like this video” and then tell them you “don’t like this channel” on any video that gets recommended.

        Yeah that means nothing to youtube, I’ve done that every time that ass hat appears and without fail in a few weeks/months there will be another one.

            That also works only for some time. In my case, blocked channels were recommended to me after about a year or two. Had to block them again.

          It’s worse than nothing, it’s an engagement metric. It’s better to block it entirely with plugins or ignore it.

          From your youtube wall, click the tree dots aligned vertically next to the title of the video under the thumbnail and select “Don’t recommend this channel” from the drop down menu.

          You will have to do this for his alt channels and the twich clip channels as you see them on your youtube wall. Very soon he should vanish and you won’t hear about him except maybe from other channels who shits on him.

          Very useful to get rid of shitty AI chanels as well.

          I dunno, it’s been working for me, just figured I’d throw it out there, that’s all. I wasn’t expecting a sort of Spanish Inquisition.

            I meant no hostility, sorry if it came off that way. I’m glad it worked for you, maybe some day I will be successful as well.

              All good I’m just kidding haha, I’m sorry it doesn’t work for you though! YouTube needs to get their shit together in many ways.

      Use YouTube Unhook if through a browser. Blocks all recommendations. Also good to stop doomscrolling shorts. Definitely recommended if most of your intentional youtube use is one channel (breadtube is a channel, right?)
