I have no clue who Onision is, but YouTube seems to think I'm very interested, because every video with him as a topic is in my suggestions.
Is there a simple way to get rid of this?

Saaaaame. I watched some reviews of books of his and now Youtube seems to think I'm obsessed with him rather than just, like, being curious about these random apparently very bad books.

Hover your mouse over the video, three dots will appear below, then click that and click on either Not interested or Don't recommend channel.
hopefully the algorithm should get the message.

YouTube thinks I'm interested in Eminem for some reason, no matter how many times I've clicked Not interested.

I just paused "watch history" on mine. Now all my suggested topics are based on videos I've already liked or favorited, with the odd trending movie trailer.

No, Youtube, I'm not interested in Markplier or whatever his name is. I never will be.

I watched some of The Nostalgia Critic's infamous The Wall "review", YouTube thought I might want to watch a lot more of his videos

“Hey there; Youtube here! We noticed you’ve been watching videos about a specific show and/or video game, so we thought we’d recommend several videos of people talking about how that particular show/game sucks and how you’re an idiot for liking it! You’re welcome!”
Me: I don’t want those.
“I see, I see. Well then, how about two dozen videos of people REACTING to the exact same videos you just watched?”
Me: I want that even less!

Onision sucks so much. He doesn't warrant his own topic, but f*** that guy. Every time he seems to resurface in conversation it's from something shitty. First I heard of his is because he was doing literal blackface on YouTube and chastising comedians for apologizing for making racially insensitive content. Then a few years back he was being taken to task by the government for attempt to write off the purchase of his home as he shot his YouTube videos there. He then blamed TurboTax. Now apparently he's, worst of all, under FBI investigation for allegations of "sexual abuse and grooming" www.newsweek.com/onision-open-fbi-investigation-youtube-children-incident-september-1483270

Also no one better be taking these freak out videos of him seriously. He still gets ad revenue and he makes money off of them.

Thanks, I don't think I even noticed the dots before. And I just went through and already had six (!) Onision recommendations I had to delete.

*watches 5 videos from the same channel in a row. Give all the videos Likes and I subscribe*
My suggestions features 0 videos from that channel.
*watches one minute from a channel’s video before unliking it and exiting the screen*
My suggestions feature mostly videos from this channel, sister channels and videos they like.

Beside that, he got ban from Patreon for doxing people, ban from twitch and currently suing Chris Hansen for harassment. The guy is legitimately one of the worst and most dangerous people on youtube atm.

YouTube keeps suggesting to me what 2 particular friends of mine like to watch.
Which is frustrating because I have LESS THAN zero interest in Townsends or that Squeaky-voiced "Technology Connections" guy.

A while back I watched a Hey Arnold clip on YouTube. For maybe 6 months after that it kept suggesting me videos of Nicktoons, all of them in Portuguese for some reason.

I keep getting those "Real doctor/lawyer/combat vet breaks down movie scenes" videos and I don't know why.

You watch one Mike Tyson knockout video and that must mean you want to see everything the man has ever done.
And for some reason, a lot of these have a photoshopped thumbnail of Tyson fighting Butterbean.
