I’ve fallen asleep watching Lefty videos and woken up to YouTube playing multi-hour Right-wing podcasts. I’d say it doesn’t give a shit so long as it’s politics, but it always strays rightward the longer you let it go.
There’s no recovering your old suggestions after such a mistake. Burn the account to the ground.
I kind of just assume you have to obfuscate and/or scrub your digital “trail” as best you can to avoid that kind of stuff everywhere now. Not too hard on the computer or maybe a phone, but most every other device is screwed. I managed to side-load a YT frontend app on an android TV and that seems to help separate things between the YT apps on the device itself.
I had similar thing few years ago where i watched dunks on Fallout 76 without realizing who i watched (i’m not into the youtuber lore) and ended up with hours of Quarteredbrain and such. And my account did recovered later, though it took A LOT of cat videos.
Do you interact with the deranged comment sections you show here every so often? And you seem to go through some questionable reddit places, maybe your browser or mobile operating system is sharing the data
What the hell have you done for the algorithm suggest that for you?
Probably watch other HoI videos.

I’ve read that youtube’s cookies/suggestions can follow you even if you delete or change accounts.
This is literally some “Orwellian” shit.
Yeah, good point.

The thing is: nothing.
I literally never watch this shit and it somehow still gets recommended to me along with other random reactionary garbage.

No, I just screenshot it for the sub and don’t even enter videos like this.
