Unsure what platform you're using, but on desktop there are options to tell it you're not interested in a video or even a whole channel.

And once I've done that a few times, I get recommendations that are clearly the algorithm struggling to figure me out. What also makes me suspect it has no idea is the appearance of the "watch it again" section. "Ah-ha! We know you watched these videos, so you're bound to want to watch them again!" and then I say I'm not interested in those either.

When the AI revolution comes, that one particularly confused robot is gonna come find me, I can tell.

From my personal anecdotal experience those buttons are not very effective.

Desktop, I only use NewPipe on phone. The idea is to prevent those videos listed in my watch history. But I do use the “I'm not interested” button sometimes to further fine tune the recommendation.
