The Not Interested and Don't Recommend Channel buttons work surprisingly well for this. I am very protective of my algorithm so I try to avoid videos that I think will open up the flood gates for shitty content but in the event that it does, a few choice clicks of those two buttons usually has things bavk under control pretty quick.
They definitely do because my recommendations are squeaky clean 98% of the time and those buttons, along with not clicking on shit that I think will poison my feed are the main tools I use to keep things clean.
One thing to keep in mind is that YT makes changes to their algorithm every once in a while. For me, that typically manifests as sports channels, especially the NFL, or political stuff making their way into my feed. A few clicks of those buttons and I’m back to normal.
Delete your YouTube history, retrain the algo. My tip is female exercise videos work the same muscles but don’t put you on the incel algorithm.
Tool reviews are another area dripping in incel content. I installed a 3rd party blocker to keep that shit at bay.

I’ve repeatedly gotten recommended the same channel I told it I wasn’t interested in.
I’ll have to start searching for “M12 milwaukee crown stapler female user”.
Is there a manosphere specific content blocker?
I use BlockTube for Firefox to manually block videos and channels. I don’t know if there’s a premade list or anything.
