    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.
