Ask HN: Design My YouTube Feed

Ctx: I'm an ML engineer. I can't stop the Youtube homepage from feeding me slop. e.g. I clicked on a bearded sales guy by mistake and my feed is now full of this guy. I need your help. The problem: a list curated by one person is only as good as that person's taste, and mine is a handful of AI and game dev channels. I made https://kouh.me/ytfeed that pulls RSS from a hand-picked list of channels and shows the last 14 days in date order. The add box is open. Paste any tech or interesting channel that I should watch.

And if nothing comes to mind, that's ok of course. One great channel beats ten okay ones. I'd rather the list stay short than fill up. Can HN beat the YouTube algorithm? What would you add?

No Shorts, no channel with latest video older than two weeks, please.

    I make copious use of the "Not Interested" and "Don't Recommend Channel" menu items on suggested videos. And I also frequently thumbs-down videos that I watch that I don't want influencing my ranking. Doesn't help completely but I'm generally satisfied with my YT recommendations.

    There is no way leaving this unprotected on the open internet goes well.
