How to stop YouTube from recommending Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro videos? - Google Search Community
I'm getting spammed with recommendations and ads for Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro videos in my feed. It is INCESSANT. I’ve tried clicking “not interested” and “don’t recommend this channel”, abd “block this channel” and nothing is working. I will NEVER be interested in what either of these people have to say. How do I make it stop?

You must be watching something that suggests to the algorithm that you’d also be interested in those two.
Results like that don’t stay with me long because I search all kinds of very different things every day, and things fall off...
Trying watching a lot of storage unit unboxing videos. Before you know it, all the recommendations will be for antiques and reselling videos.
My laptop screen might be at risk if Youtube fed me Ben Shapiro videos.
I like the way Peterson dismantles wokesters.
He only gets into politics of his home country Canada - and having a lot of familiarity with Canada, I 100% agree with him.
Some of the Peterson videos appear to be faked AI.
It could be worse. I keep getting suggestions of 35 year old women complaining about not being able to find a man to meet her list of requirements.
They’re even faking Victor Davis Hanson now; and Ryan Hall Y’all.
Sometimes there is a Thumbs Up or Down to click. I’ll click a Thumbs Down on a disagreeable video and that seems to work.
Click on one Big Boob or Doggie Plucking vid.
Your Algo Feed will change.
Who or what is “Glitter Beard Wizard”?
Fake people do tend to have fake problems.
Their algorithms are terrible. Watch one video either by accident or say, you need to fix your toilet. Then every single recommended video is related to that. The worst are if you accidentally click on one of the stupid short videos.
And sooooo much AI garbage with click bait. If it weren’t for a few shows I like and some music channels I would not use it, ever. Use Brave Browser to eliminate the ads.
Try searching for something else like Italian walking tours and you will get a tour of every tourist city in Italy.
Then search for Fail Army. You will get a dozen videos of people doing stupid things. Like landing on their privates.
Your recommended videos are from what you have been watching previously.
Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro are great. I love it when my wife had them on the car radio.
It's like the AI fake videos of Richard Feynman discussing various science/philosophy topics that are now flooding YouTube.
Pretty soon we will have AI videos of Abraham Lincoln telling us which toilet paper is the best buy.
I have a similar beef. Every time I boot up my computer, there is some sort of photo/link showing the deceased American box “Muhammad Ali”. Day after day after day, I see this individual I never liked nor admired, forced down my throat by the webpage that displays when my laptop boots up—MSN I believe it is. I wish I could stop it—I never ever admired Muhammad Ali and now that he is dead and buried, I bever wat to see his scowling face again!
