ok, so i HATE fortnite for... reasons no, it's not that i'm bad at it, but i have personal reasons for hating the game (and in a big part it's community) so, can i somehow blacklist the word "fortnite" on youtube and even better, google chrome unless i put in the specific link to that video? (since most fortnite videos that pop up in recommended are cringe worthy or down right unpleasant [while yes, some might be good, but most of the time it just pisses me off seeing people spend hundreds of dollars on a free game or seeing desperate attempts from epic games to try and attract public])

So if youtube comes up with it in your "hey we think you might like" start page, you have watched too many of fortnite vids. Clear out your "watched videos" in YT. 

 

Else, learn to accept things... this will be a lesson needed for the whole life that is about to unroll... you can't just walk around and demand/or do black out things you don't like. That is life =) 

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

I don't know about blocking the entire word, but if any video is recommended to you and you don't like it, you can hover over it, click the three dots that appear in the corner, and select "Hide".

From there, you can click "Tell us why" and select that you're not interested in the video. Your recommendations should tune themselves automatically after a few hidden videos.

If you have any videos in your watch history, you can track them down and remove them. This is bound to be more effective if you're still being suggested Fortnite content.

Just click not interested & don’t click the videos. I usually just use the sidebar to find the channel I want to watch, see their video and turn off YouTube or listen to a music playlist I saved. I don’t really even scroll to see any videos-and if I do, I usually say I’m not interested in most.

Ehhh... Just because they're showing up in his recommended videos doesn't mean he watched a lot of it. Youtube loves to recommend things that are popular, and Fortnite is on fire right now. A few years ago I spent like half the day binge watching some small channel, then I accidentally clicked one Pewdiepie video, and clicked off of it within like 10 seconds. Guess what my recommended was full of? Pretty much all Pewdiepie.

 

Youtube's algorithm... I mean the algorithm probably doesn't work that way any more as that experience is a little old, but I'm willing to bet that it's still that way.

 

To the OP, you're just gonna have to learn to deal with it.
