Blocking YouTube Channels From Appearing In Your Feed

YouTube has a pretty good algorithm that is able to recommend videos closest to your watch history and preferences. However, it is also often promoting the content you don’t want to watch.

Luckily, it is easy to stop those videos from appearing in your feed.

STEP 1: Go to the YouTube homepage.

STEP 2: Take a look and find a video you don’t like.

STEP 3: Under the video thumbnail, click the three dots icon.

STEP 4: Choose either Not interested or Don’t recommend channel option.

 

Important: If you choose the Not interested option, YouTube won’t block the concrete channel from your recommendations. With this option, YouTube will block videos similar in content to the video you are not interested in. For blocking the entire channel, choose the Don’t recommend channel option.

The process of blocking a channel from appearing in your feed on Android or iPhone is quite similar. So follow the steps above.
