  Right that’s true. To be honest I’m not sure that always factors into recommendation. I also can’t block classes of content (like short videos). And I can’t go to a video and just set is it or the channel as blocked. “don’t recommend” and “block” are also different concepts. I’d like the ability to block content so it doesn’t appear at all if searched for, linked etc. The fact is, YouTube could easily provide much of this functionality. Particularly the ability to block short content. But they’re interested in pushing this content on users.
