'Don't Recommend Channel' is precisely what I've been using, and every now and again YouTube decides that perhaps I didn't mean it and starts showing me the channels again. I've had to block some upwards of four times now.

That explains why it keeps trying to get me to watch egregious shitheads
despite repeatedly telling YouTube to fuck right off.

"Shitheads with millions of views" is all that YT cares about pushing
not sure what buttons I have to press to get "Sidemen" and "MrBeast" to disappear completely

I very rarely get recommended popular shitheads.
IDK who Sidemen or MrBeast are.
I've heard of the Paul brothers through boxing and wrestling. I'm aware of Poodiepie or whatever he's called through South Park. Beyond that I have no fucking idea who is popular on YT.

I think they all belong to this group of people that mainly "react" to other people's videos
but MrBeast does it while simultaneously setting fire to a million dollars each time

It happens to everyone, the channel owners see it at the point of origin.
Shadiversity did an interesting* video on it a few weeks back.
*your mileage may vary
