"ah I see you have an interest in [literally anything]. I bet you'd like to see some completely unhinged right wing shit.'
I guess it doesn't help that for any topic you can think of to watch a youtube video about there are at least half a dozen guys endlessly churning out videos about how that thing is "woke" now.

YouTube: Now you've learnt how to replace that part on your car, let's discuss how Hitler had some good points, shall we?

@infernusgoatus @waitworry I'm getting that on Tiktok because of looking into Ham Radio stuff there
-@waitworry I think I am an outlier, but I almost entirely interact with YouTube via the subscription tab. I find new creators infrequently this way, but the content I consume is curated only to things I have intentionally sought out.
For a long time I assumed this was the typical way everyone used it, but I no longer believe that.
@HeckinChonker I mean I have a browser extension that hides the recommendations anyway
