Usually in the upper right corner. Click on it, and it will drop down a menu with selections. If you want to hide that particular video, click ‘Not Interested’. If you want to block the channel that posted it, click ‘Do Not Recommend Channel’.

Whenever I do either, I immediately refresh the site, so it changes the algorithm based on the blocks I just made. The change is usually infinitesimal, but sooner or later, you get content much more attuned to your tastes.
