Default How to Delete Youtube 'Suggestions'?

hey CP

my wife and i are trying to figure something out on her ipad. (old ipad, likely first or second generation)

our 'almost 4 year old' gets very little screen time - usually 20-30 minutes/day max. the normal routine is at bedtime she can watch a video or 2 on the ipad and then it's lights out.

she's your typical kid, so it's stuff like paw patrol, peppa pig, masha and the bear, some monster truck cartoon show (ha! ha! awesome!!), puroro, etc.

recently she discovered a new show and we noticed within a couple days a change in her. i asked my wife if she had ever actually watched an episode and she said no, so i watched one.... lots of the characters yelling/arguing and being confrontational. simple solution - we just didn't let her watch the show and a couple days later her behavior was back to normal

the problem is the show keeps popping up in the 'youtube suggestions' (or whatever you call it)... you know the screen that comes up after the video you are watching has ended, or the long list of videos that show up either under or beside the video you've watched.

we've tried deleting the ipad's history, the cookies and the youtube history (both view and search histories), but the show inevitably shows up (we don't have a youtube account).

is there any way to get rid of the suggestions? is there a way to block a particular show from showing up?

sometimes when watching the bedtime video with her with her, my wife or i (whoever happens to be tucking her in) will fall asleep and sure enough at the end of the show she's watching she'll see the 'suggestions' and then start watching until we wake up.

i've tried googling the topic and not really had any luck

thanks
