You can give feedback by clicking thumbs up/down or selecting "not interested".

Thumbs up / down has no impact on what videos Youtube pushes.

Not interested and don't recommend channel only removes that channel. It doesn't do anything to remove all the other similar content, and it doesn't do anything to add more relevant content.

Please cite a source. It seems like it would be an obvious signal to use in recommendations.
