Youtube's 'Do Not Recommend Channel' button sucks. It doesn't work.

I view a lot of videos of military subjects, tanks mostly, of course. Youtube has been spamming me with videos from the channel of an ex-Marine who critiques the training of elite units from around the world, and compares them to Marine training. Calling this muttonhead an ultra-right-wing hamhock would be an understatement, so I have no interest in his brainless blithering. (For example, in a video about the French Foreign Legion, he complains that France is 'politically correct', although he offers no explanation for why he thinks so, or what that has do to with training a Legionnaire. The term by itself, I guess, is supposed to end discussion of whatever this jarhead finds unacceptable...)

I clicked on the thumbnail of one of his videos to select 'Do Not Recommend Channel', so his empty-headed military meanderings would stop showing up on my Youtube home page.

It didn't work. They're still showing up.

I've clicked the button on probably two dozen of his videos now. No help.

I'll keep plugging away until I don't have to see his ugly face or listen to the products of his ugly mind. Sooner or later something's got to give.

Sometimes they store info and release it on new sign in. Just a thought.
