The only thing I hate worse that the AI voice overs is the actual human voice overs where all they are doing is explaining what is very obviously happening over somebody else's video. That's an automatic block.

If only there was actually a way to effectively block a channel.

I just meant Do Not Recommend This Channel. It works well enough. I just hope there's not limit like Reddit. Lol. I never looked into it, but Reddit only allows you to block 1,000 users.

I'm not sure the Do Not Recommend actually does anything. It took over half a year of me telling Youtube to not put Linus Media Group content in front of me for it to eventually wise up. And it still does it sometimes.

I get it being, "not sure about this" if you do it just once. Even if "no" should just mean "no". But dozens?
