Also, if a video thumbnail/title displays on my screen and I don't click it, it is a sign of disinterest. Stop suggesting videos I have repeatedly scrolled past. Use the lack of engagement as a feature.

Once I tried disliking or dismissing a video as enforced dislike. Then it said "ok disengaging the entire category" and I was like wtf no. That's not at all what I wanted. And there was no way to undo. So its frustrating trying to teach those algorithms things I don't like.
It was on google somewhere. It was like I wanted to dislike a particular author or that particular programming language they were talking about, but took it as me not wanting to hear about anything technological ever again. It was frustrating as heck.
