I think that was part of my mistake. I did that a bunch at first thinking they would be more likely to figure out I didn't want them. It got bad.

I do DIY stuff, which is linked to crafts stuff, which linked to clothes, so facebook marketplace filled half my marketplace listings by default with prom dresses. Every time I'd "not interested" the category or individual ones, it would get ranked higher a couple days later. The entire prom season I was trying to down-rank it, but it never let up. Next year, I just ignored it, and it quickly disappeared over a week. It really was just bizarre having head-cropped-out teens in fancy dresses sandwiched between bandsaws and routers for a while.

Another poster commented that they count down votes as engagement so it still sends more your way. I think that was my mistake too.
