How do I stop Google TV from recommending Pinkfong? (I'm a 19yo male and the sole user of this Chromecast)

It knows what you like.

If you binge watch and finish it, it should go away

That'll teach you to search for anime porn via Chrome. Google knows all.

yeah you really should give it a shot. it might be alright

Helpful Response: From the Youtube webpage look for a pinkfong recommendation and you can choose "Do Not Recommend this Channel" and even say why you don't like it.

This is how I stopped Good Mythical Morning from appearing on every page. I mean I didn't start out hating it, but Google shoving it down my throat made me change my mind. How do some channels get so much free promotion like this?!

Lol and many ask why we do not want the new launcher on the Shield.

You have to watch it.

Or maybe it's like the ring. You have 7 days to recommend it to somebody else.

The algorithm knows your darkest secrets dude. Just watch it.

Stop watching Pinkfong? Get a grip man!!

SpecialistAromatic31

Just rate it a thumbs down but don't mark it as watched, then go to settings and choose restart and when it reboots the movie will be gone. I've had to do this a few times, for stupid movies.

Give in and watch all of it

DepartmentOfAnswers

Maybe watch all episodes :)

I’m sure you’ve been secretly watching it... man up!

watchyourmouthplease

Be true to yourself and just embrace it, man

elzafir

It might be...up your alley. You never know.

They know you more than you know you.

That's either a paid ad or a Google Staff Pick neither are based on your watch history. You just have to wait for it to run its course.

buy new TV

Amongst other things recommended, you can go into your history under "manage my activity" and remove whatever thing you watched that made then recommend it. I usually do this if I binge a topic I won't ever be interested in again. It's easier that using incognito mode.

If you go into the YouTube app and it gets recommended, then click and hold down on it. You'll get a menu where your can select "not interested" which should help.

Go to Seoul and have a yelling contest with the CEO of SmartStudy.

uammauaum

Just surrender and watch them. You'll be happier after 🤭

Are u embarrassed that if you bring a girl over she’ll see that and think it’s because you watch that stuff? Hahahhaha teens

Nice

This is what I am talking about, Google sucks making suggestions for content to watch, the previous version of Android TV launcher was much simpler and better

alist_microx

Launch Youtube, on recommended section press hold on videos and choose not interested. This may help.

electro_nik

Keep searching something else and give it a try

It will change in less than 1 week.

mehrabrym

I see you, fellow Canadian. Sorry I haven't had the same issue so not sure what the fix is.

temeroso_ivan

Google knows you, I guess.

unseenmover

Who else has access to your YTTV acct? are there other fam members using the same acct?

lutz1972

You totally heard about it - then watched a YouTube video to see what everyone was talking about. (I did it too)

MastahKilla

Omg nice trolling by Google.

Jenings

I think thats a feature not a bug of the Android on tv ecosystem. If you don’t like it consider switching hardware? I think the shield and Apple TV are the only ad free tv boxes these days

fmtriker

Baby shark do do do do do do do

tonymurray

Give it a thumbs down and/or mark it as watched.

TorsionalRigidity99

Mine suggests onlyfans...

stronghold_ossan

Check if it is shown on your youtube. You can select that you don't like the video

You Could use the App in this thread called Wolf Launcher. I know that the thread is about Fire TVs but trust me, it works on Android TVs, I've tried it. You don't need the Launcher manager on Android TVs though, just Wolf Launcher.

It eventually went away on its own. Thanks for the comments, upvotes, and the award.

What're the main differences between Android TV 9 & Google TV are the features that much better? They seem similiar.
