How to Stop AI Videos in YouTube Recommendations

1. Tell YouTube you are not interested

When an unwanted video appears on your Home page, click the three dots beside it and choose Not interested.

If the problem is a specific channel repeatedly appearing in your feed, use Don't recommend channel instead.

This can help adjust your recommendations over time, but it is still a manual process. You have to keep doing it as new AI-generated channels and videos appear.

Some recommendation controls require sign-in. YouTube Help explains the available controls.

2. Avoid feeding the recommendation loop

Even briefly watching a video can give YouTube another signal about what to recommend.

If you know you do not want AI-generated videos, Reddit TTS stories, copied clips, automated videos, or similar content, avoid repeatedly opening them just to see what they are.

Cleaning up your watch history can also help if your recommendations have already become heavily influenced by content you no longer want.

3. Block individual AI content farms

For channels that constantly publish unwanted content, Don't recommend channel addresses the channel rather than marking one video at a time as Not interested.

The problem is scale.

AI-assisted content can be produced extremely quickly, so blocking one channel does not stop another nearly identical channel from appearing later.

That is where automatic filtering can add another layer of control.

Filter more than just videos labeled as AI

One problem with relying only on an AI disclosure is that not every unwanted video fits neatly into an "AI-generated" label.

Maybe what bothers you is the robotic narration. Maybe it is Reddit stories read by text-to-speech.

Maybe it is copied clips, repetitive compilations, low-originality content, ragebait, or channels mass-producing nearly identical videos.

Orislop lets you control the types of content you want filtered instead of treating every video involving AI as the same thing.

That also means you do not have to block legitimate videos just because they discuss artificial intelligence.

Control how aggressive the filter is

There is no perfect AI detector, and a filter that removes everything remotely suspicious would probably become annoying very quickly.

That is why Orislop gives you control over how filtering behaves.

If you would rather review uncertain videos yourself, you can leave them visible.

If you want stronger filtering, you can hide matching recommendations or have matching videos covered while you review them.

The goal is not to replace YouTube's recommendation system with another system you cannot control. It is to give you more control over what reaches you.

Can you completely remove AI videos from YouTube?

Probably not.

No filter can guarantee that every AI-generated video will be identified correctly, especially as AI content keeps changing.

But you can reduce how much unwanted content reaches your feed.

YouTube's own controls can help with individual videos and channels. A dedicated YouTube AI content blocker can add another layer of filtering automatically as you browse.

How to block AI videos on YouTube automatically

Install Orislop from the Chrome Web Store and open YouTube normally.

Choose the categories you want filtered and how aggressively you want Orislop to respond. Then continue using YouTube.

Orislop checks content while you browse and can flag, hide, or cover matching videos depending on your settings.

You stay in control of what gets filtered.
