Yeah, Not Interested hides the video just like Do Not Recommend, so you can’t do both on the same one.
But it doesn’t really matter, because for me Do Not Recommend is actually signaling Youtube with Hell Yeah Gimme More! and anything I say I’m not interested in I see ten times more of. So I just block channels, which does seem to work reliably, except the list of shit channels is never ending.
Blocktube is an awesome extension, but it doesn’t run on the browser I actually sign into Youtube as myself. I run it on another browser where I never sign in, to avoid a one-off or accidental video choice skewing my recommendations for the indefinite future.
The number of gyrations required just to watch what I want to watch, and not see what I don’t want to see on Youtube is never ending.
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.

Has changing your preferences from adssettings.google.com helped?
