I don't down vote, just "not interested"
I can see that being exactly how YouTube is thinking, "if they're too busy hate-blocking that means their eyes are glued to the screen!"
Instead of click Not Interested, I recommend igoring them. It might take a few days or even a week, but I they should start to disappear from your feed
