Works fine (read: addictively) here. Have you ever tried marking videos and channels as not of interest? Maybe you're doing something that effectively prevents Google from profiling you "properly" to then "properly" hook you in with recomms?
Hiding an entire channel should at least work, that much I was able to directly confirm.
Although it was not without a twist. Originally, I blocked asmongold and his shorts channel - so far so good. But then he made a second shorts channel. Okay, blocked that too. But then unrelated third parties made another "fan" shorts channel, so I had to block that too. I'm not sure how many further iterations there will be, but most of the time and for the most part, I did manage to get rid of him from my feeds, so that's something.

Other than hiding that one video I am absolutely convinced that this button does nothing at all. It says "we'll tweak your preferences" but I don't think it does.
