The fatal flaw mistake that you're making is interacting with it. By going don't recommend this channel or disliking you are still interacting with it. Interacting is a positive metric. Ignore with your brain and don't interact.

Not true in my case. Also, removing content pieces from watch history helps immediately.

My usual routine is: dislike, not interested (or don’t recommend channel in case it’s all bad), then go to history and X the video. This clearly works for me.

To remove shorts completely, use Unhook ext.
