Currently in the US elections are featured in my YouTube feed, and not factual content but rage inducing.

How can I filter that?

It might take some time but if you don’t want to start fresh with a new account, mark everything you don’t want as Not Interested as they pop up until your feed is clean! It’s worth the effort imo

Also, you can tell YT to never recommend a channel. It’s permanent (can’t undo) but well worth the use.
