I’d be really curious to know why this seems to be happening to so many people but not me. I’m a hardcore YouTube addict, but there’s zero politics in my feed. I even follow many right-wing gun tubers, watch plenty of police bodycam footage and occasionally might even view one or two videos from people like Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro but even after that I might only get few more recommendations about their videos and once I ignore them they stop showing up. The only videos YouTube seems to be trying to force feed me are game streamers I’ve never heard of and judging by the view count on their videos, neither has anyone else.
