The algorithms know that people who dislike something enough to click a button will be primed to potentially do something like hate-watch or open the video to leave a comment, etc so by interacting you are telling it you were emotionally affected.
The best way to avoid getting suggested videos like this is to completely ignore them. Do not open it, do not click any buttons on it or hover over it long enough for the preview to start.
Eventually you’ll only see suggestions like that if you are a regular watcher of videos on the opposite end of the spectrum.
I’ve been telling YouTube not to recommend these types of videos and it seems to work well with minimal effort on my part. When I look at the homepage, it’s all cooking and math videos, and it’s been that way for years now.

Alternatively, I tell YouTube to not recommend a channel and it… doesn’t recommend that channel.
