Doesn't do a whole lot IME .... I've played with these settings extensively. (much like the "door-close" button on passenger elevators it's there to keep you busy)
I regularly see videos I've marked "not interested" and channels I've marked "don't recommend" show up on my feed. (and then stubbornly hang around!)
Wouldn't mind adding a similar "feature" to P&N though!
Youtube premium is one of the great things about modern technology. Some of the best money I spend, as I watch more youtube than any other media by far.
That's exactly what they will do coz their excuse will be "inflation".I'm not really against paying for certain internet based services as long as they don't price gouge or keep upping the price every few years.

Why don't you block ads on your phone? Aside from billboards and snailmail spam, my life is pretty much ad free.
I pay for it because my wife and I use it on the tv apps. Plus I don't mind paying for something I use that much.Maybe not with the app. I disable all the stock apps, and pretty much anything that duplicates the function of a web browser, with the exception of redreader for reddit for the next month anyway. Firefox + ublock origin will block ads, and/or you can use a program that creates a local vpn to blackhole ad requests. I use dns66. AFAIK, you can only have one vpn running, so that may not be a good option if you use a real vpn.
I very, very rarely watch videos on my phone, I'd just as soon wait until I have a better viewing experience available versus watching it on such a small screen.I also have YT premimum and I like it. Mostly for the ad free viewing on my smartphone. I use an ad block on my laptop.
Yeah, there are a number of ways to do it, based on what I've seen people talk about.Blocking ads on your phone when using YouTube can be a pain. Can it even be done? I use the app btw.

Gotta say, she looks like someone who's YT videos I do NOT want to see.
YouTube's really going downhill. Now charging creators in a "Pay to Play" scheme, in order for their videos to be seen.
I guess I see shit in my suggestions but I don't hit it and it eventually goes away. I don't have a sense that the suggestion draw is going to hell. Well, it's sometimes better than others. But I don't make a habit of going down Youtube rabbit holes. It's an occasional indulgence. Real easy to fall through the cracks at Youtube. Lots of times I click on nothing... For a while I subscribed to very little. Subscribing is presumably a way to refine your youtube experience. How well it actually works, I'm not sure all in all. They obviously offer you stuff you haven't subscribed to. Some of that I HAVE really liked.Nah it's just shit like clicking on a daily wire video or a shapiro link or something like that and then the crazy shit starts to appear in suggestions....

I have it installed, also in Windows, where it often does what I can't get Chrome to do.Brave browser
I was like that but with age, I'm finding it harder and harder to stay upright in front of a screen at the end of the day, leading me to pick up my mobile and watch a few nice vids before I doze off.I very, very rarely watch videos on my phone, I'd just as soon wait until I have a better viewing experience available versus watching it on such a small screen.

This happened to me. I clicked on a single jordan peterson link not knowing what it was and all of a sudden a ton of crazy shit showed up. took me a long time for all those suggestions to stop showing up and even then they still pop up once in a whileI guess I see shit in my suggestions but I don't hit it and it eventually goes away.

Yeah, if something seems off, don't go for it. I'm sure I get bunches of weird suggestions I wouldn't like, some that I'd hate even. I don't hang out at YT. I just go sometimes. I like it in these forums a lot more (very interactive), but the functionality here is very limited, of course. One of the best features here is that you can link most anything. I also love that the moderators really like it here and many if not most are fellow posters, they aren't standoffish.This happened to me.
