#when ppl complain about getting supposedly completely random right wing shit recced out of the blue im ngl i tend to sideye them

[moodr1ng]

one thing that remains strange to me is that.. like apparently many/most people i too have noticed that my youtube front page is now loaded with recommendations i dont give a shit about and the algorithm is absolutely awful at recommending me new videos. but. be it now or ever before, never, on any of my youtube accounts (i have had/still have multiple) have i ever had alt-right, far right, or even generally right-wing videos recommended to me more than a small handful of times where i promptly clicked "not interested" and it never showed back up. i leave autoplay on and ive never had a right-wing video pop up randomly. i literally do not ever see any evidence of a right-wing pipeline from the channels i watch, whether theyre left-leaning channels or they appear unpolitical. so maybe its just bias from my experience but i find it a little hard to believe that right-wing media is actually that inescapable on youtube when its simply never, ever recommended to me, EVER? like. it kinda feels like people who complain that its "too easy" to "accidentally" end up watching a rabbit hole of liberal-to-centrist-to-right-wing-to-fascist content.. may just be watching right-leaning creators to begin with and thinking theyre apolitical..? idk. any followers watch left-leaning vids and get recommended right-wing content? or, like me, do you never see any right wing content in your recs? like to hear more lol
