    It’s not. I spend too much time vetting and blocking right wing channels despite never watching any while logged in.

      I usually binge a specific channel in a new subject then youtube blasts me with whatever they think will engage me the most and it’s always the trashiest content. Big red arrows, all caps, surprised faces, misleading thumbnails.

        I once left a live stream open when I went to bed and the next day, I had train videos on my recommendations. They had raided into a train live stream.
