I had one warhammer video autoplay and now all of my recomendations and autoplayed videos are warhammer videos. I have no interest in warhammer.

you can go onto your youtube history, search for that video and remove it from your history, and it will stop influencing your recommendations.

every now and then i watch a video about a topic i'm not really interested in except for that one video, and then had to remove it from history.

It doesn't do that for me, it'll sprinkle related videos in my suggestions but overwhelmingly my suggestions stay similar to what I had before and I just scroll past the videos I am not interested in much and marking uninterested on anything which I'll never watch

I have autopay disabled which probably helps. I also use YouTube too much so it quickly picks up when I never tap a video of a certain topic.
