How to remove recommended videos and channels from YouTube
Updated: 07/13/2023 by Computer Hope
YouTube generates video and channel recommendations, usually based on your searches and viewing habits. Consequently, if you consume irregular content, you might see suggestions for subjects you're not normally interested in viewing. This page shows you how to remove videos and channels recommended by YouTube so they don't appear in your feed again. To learn how to do so, choose a category from the list below and follow the instructions.
Note
No matter how many channels or videos you remove, there is no way to stop YouTube from suggesting content to you on the home screen. If this option is ever added, we'll update our page.
