Been getting right wing content in my recommended in the past week too, haven’t seen any of that since maybe 2017 when “sjw owned” videos were getting boosted like crazy by the algorithm, today I got recommended a video that looked like straight up fascist apologia. It’s really weird because I’ve pretty much only used youtube to watch explicitly left wing content or view content that has a largely left wing audience (music, visual art etc.) for the past 4 or so years, and whenever I do see right wing content I always click don’t recommend. I really hope it’s just my feed being fucky and that we won’t see another alt right pipeline sort of situation
I have no idea what videos you’re all watching to get stuff like this in your home feed because I’ve never seen any right wing anything on YouTube.
i literally just listen to jungle and watch the occasional vid on sociology i’m just as confused as u are
