The YouTube algorithm is garbage. More than once it's just completely removed channels I watch pretty much daily from my suggestions. The not interested filter is woefully inadequate as they have no idea what the actual reason for disinterest was. I still get 100 flavors of lofi videos in my suggestions despite flagging every single one. YouTube's interpretation of that? Remove all other forms of music.

I can't say I've had that same experience. I filtered out the playlist channels and I'm still seeing suggestions from artists I like along with tons of stuff I'm interested in
