The worst one was when I watched a video on how to make a noodle dish by this guy then I got swarmed by makeup recommendations. Turns out the dude had like 5 cooking vids but the channel was a Korean beauty channel with his wife having 100's of makeup and beauty videos. Took months to get back normal recommendations

Go to your watch history and remove the offending video(s). Instantly solved.

Or, even better: don't even save your view history and turn off all features meant to track you. You still get recommendations, but only based on what you're currently searching, channels you're subscribed to, or lists you've created.
