    Any basic “you may like this” algorithm can produce those results.

      I don’t know about Google, but there is something severely wrong with Youtube’s algorithm. I’m far left leaning, and it only takes one or two wrong clicks to throw my entire recommended page into a right-wing conspiracy hell.

        Oh you watch WWII videos because you like hearing about how liberal democracy stomped fascism with superior tactics, weapons and intelligence?

        Here’s some videos by actual fascists! Women are the patriarchy!

        Oh you like videos about Cold War Russia and espionage?

        How about this video about why Ukraine is run by Jewish paedophile Nazis?
