Loosing Battle with Recommendation Engines

I’m having a loosing battle with the recommendation engines. I always had issues with all recommendation engines, because it recommended stuff I didn’t like. A lot of times YouTube recommend to watch videos that are anti-Scientology. Pandora recommends only music with the same lyrics as songs that I liked, but the song is lost with every remix. Hulu recommends science fiction and drama when ever I never in the mood. Hulu just started to recommend comedies that rots the brains, even though I like comedies that requires the mind.

The ways I tried combating bad recommendations from recommendation engines by simple clicking the thumbs down button, clicking the I’m not interested check box, and giving low ratings immediately before watching the video. I am getting stronger feeling as I combat these bad recommendations that I am failing; I’m failing bad. I feel I am failing, because whenever I see something that I like in these recommendation engines I actually saw that before. For example hulu recommends me to watch clips of The Office I’ve seen before. I wounder to myself. Am I so hard to figure out?
