I’m certain my YouTube feed is trying to radicalize me into some kind of culture warrior. It’s really annoying. I deleted all of my watch history to try and reset it and it just got way worse real quick. I watch one stupid video, now all I see are angry tubers upset that people don’t think exactly like they do and enjoy things they don’t. Then they convince themselves they’re more enlightened than anyone else because they make this content and ban anyone who makes fun of them, all while claiming to be “free speech advocates” of course.

YouTube got bad so fast it’s left my head spinning.

I started with a clean profile: I never log in to YT so it's just using a local cookie you can always clear to start over.

Anyways, I just searched a few sciencey things to feed the algorithm and now I'm getting loads of crazy fake "science" and conspiracies and the rest is all extremist right wing bullshit.

YouTube is getting useless.
