This is how it should work. Very well put.

I'm disgusted on a daily basis that Twitch recommends me to watch a streamer who two witnesses alleged sexually assaulted a woman. I'm not suggesting he'd be blocked or even not show up in follow list, but at the bare minimum give us a 'Don't recommend this channel' function to the 'Following' page.
I'm also getting daily recommendations to watch a body art streamer who I've never watched, who appears each day wearing nothing but pasties on my thumbnails. All the more power to her, but I don't want these barely SFW streams showing up in my recommended list, so again, please give us a 'Don't recommend this channel' button.

All I want is for the three dot options button to show up on the following page as well. I'm seeing a recommended video there that I want to label as "not interested" but it doesn't show up on the home page. Alternatively let us name tags that we want blocked from our account. If the age requirement is 13 to have an account you shouldn't be suggesting "hot" and "shower" to people who have only ever watched gaming streams

On the home page, you can say "not interested" on certain channels that pop up there. However, this menu option does not appear when looking at the recommended channels within the Following page. I think this is a small oversight and should be easily fixable. But knowing Twitch, it'll never get fixed. How does something like this happen in the first place? Are you using a different UI component in both places? Seems inefficient. Did you purposefully just disable it on the Following page implementation? Seems unlikely, but the people at Twitch are dumb enough to do that.

On the main page I can remove recommended channels by clicking the three dots and selecting 'not interested'. This is helpful when twitch decides that hot tubs are a category that should interest me for some reason without my consent. However, on the 'following' page I can NOT remove recommendations in any way. SO, when I open my web browser with my following page as my homepage... BOOM big ole obese lady in a bikini staring at me. PLEASE either remove recommendations entirely from the FOLLOWING page or give me to option to remove channels/categories from it. I'm really tired of it.

The following page is full of recommendations I cant get rid off.
On the front page, there are three dots next to a recommendation where you can tell twitch, that you're not interested in that channel. However the recommended channels on twitch.tv/directory/following, which is the page I mostly use for convenience, does not have those.
So the recommended channels are full of **** streams. Nothing against that, but I use twitch for gaming streams and dont want to have nudity shoved in my face, everytime I'm looking for a stream.
I have never watched any of these, so I don't even know why the algorithm thinks I'd like them.
There is currently no reliabale way to get rid of this, or it is very well hidden.

On the Following page of Twitch, in the Recommended Channels section, the dots to open a menu to tell Twitch to not recommend me this channel is missing.

I also cannot find a way to tell Twitch to not recommend a channel if they go offline.
