I like the blog!

Yeah, that's pretty much my exact gripe - that the algorithm just keeps wanting to show you more of the same. It's like a friend who gets obsessed about one thing after you said you liked it once :')

I'm not sure how best to solve this though

I like when YouTubers talk about other channels they like, and I often go check those out – especially if they are on some completely different topic. Because if someone is making content I like, they might also have good taste when it comes to what they watch. But I think in general the art of "taste-making" remains just that: an art.
Maybe a "this is cool; but enough for now" button? It would remember the category that you like but turn down its recommendation frequency for a duration (session?).
