You can’t hide channels on YouTube without a 3rd party addon. YouTube kept suggesting me videos from channels I think unsubscribed to until I did that.
I only use yt though a web browser or through Grayjay. I don’t even have a smart tv. If the 3rd party antitracking stuff is messing things up, I’ll fix it with other 3rd party stuff.
No, the 3rd party blocker is working just fine. Before that, I would select “Not Interested” or “Don’t recommend this channel” and it would remove certain channels for a while, but eventually the algo decided that I wanted to see those “high engagement” channels.
I wish they’d let us hide shows like you can hide channels on YouTube

To stop YouTube from suggesting a specific channel, follow these steps:
That doesn’t stop it for me.
Maybe try opening the yt app on your tv amd doing it through that UI. Could be your desktop browser’s anti-tracking is messing it up.

I use FreeTube on linux, SmartTube on my android TV and the native Yt app on mobile (got tired of apps dying)
FreeTube and SmartTube have zero suggestion algo afaik
