My theory is that if YouTube profiles people as likely 18-45 yr old male, then they shove right wing propaganda down your throat even if you don’t align with it in any other way based on subscriptions/search history/etc.

I’m right in that age range and never see apt right stuff, but I have a lot of subscriptions and my account is over a decade old 🤷 I also watch a lot leftist media lol

I'm 48 and have never seen that right wing bullshit. Guess I just never tripped across whatever criteria is it beyond just age.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that Google is trying to suggest videos to you it thinks you’ll watch. Their whole goal is to keep you watching as long as possible.
