Nothing is more frustrating than opening the home page of YouTube and watch recommended videos of kittens when what you really want to see are videos of puppies. You have never searched videos about fabrics, so why does YouTube think you like this kind of content? Well, don't worry because YouTube has a solution for this: it gives you more control over your YouTube homepage and the videos you see below.
Making a couple of changes to your settings will give you more control over your YouTube experience and show you more personalized videos.
The new update works on both Android and iOS, and will soon reach the Web version.
How to stop watching video suggestions you don't want
There are two ways to get rid of the suggestions of videos you don't want to watch: you can tell YouTube that you don't recommend specific channels or say you're not interested in watching a particular video.
