It doesn't quite make up for all of the right wing radicalization that is bringing society closer to fascism but hey at least I discovered city pop, thanks YouTube.

Doesn't Youtube just recommend you more of what you like? In any political directions?
E.g. If I watch John Oliver, maybe I'll get recs for Destiny. If I watch Destiny, maybe I'll get recs for Vaush. If I watch Vaush, maybe I'll get recs for Richard Wolff?
If I watch Tucker Carlson, maybe I'll get recs for Dave Rubin, if I watch Dave Rubin, maybe I'll get recs for Ben Shapiro, if I watch Ben Shapiro, maybe I'll get recs for Nick Fuentes?
I dunno...I mostly listen to music and watch independent sports analyst videos on YT these days...but I thought it worked both ways. Gives you more of what you consume, sometimes in a more extreme direction based on whatever neural networks or graph databases it's running its recommender engine on and what the majority of viewers who watch/like/subscribe to videos you watch click on most frequently.
