Description

Right now, I'm not sure how the block function works (was unable to figure it out), but I'm assuming it doesn't take into account blocking by keywords.
Is it possible? Because no matter how much we click "not interested" or "don't recommend channel" we keep seeing the same shitty recommendations (from different channels) again and again.

So if we were to block specific keywords, then we would be permanently free from recommendations we have zero interest in seeing.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by tracing the existing block, “not interested,” and “don’t recommend channel” behavior, then determine how recommendations are filtered. Done would mean users can specify keywords and no matching recommendations appear.
