Similarly, my YouTube shorts are filled with gambling videos and “get rich quick scheme” videos. Seems as though “do not recommend channel” blocks the channel but assumes you have some growing interest in the topic.

I just want to watch woodworking shorts and plumbing videos T_T

Maybe do Not Interested and then Do not recommend channel?

Unless doing the former just hides the video immediately and doesn’t let you do the latter, in which case just call me a fool.

Has changing your preferences from https://adssettings.google.com helped?

Doesn't seem to have, no. I've had all that stuff turned off for ages on my account, and you can also turn it off to a limited extent on a single browser even if you're not signed in.
