Getting people angry drives engagement, YouTube probably thinks you’re going hate-watch it and make them more tasty, tasty ad impressions that way.
This is the right answer.
I don't watch neither "right" nor "left" videos, I watch science, tech, and ponies. It keeps recommending science, pseudo-science, tech, and ponies (apparently they don't have categories for anti-tech or anti-ponies).
oh for sure, it’s just on other platforms that usually only happens for content that I engage with or have engaged with in the past, which isn’t the case for what I’ve been seeing on youtube. there’s no reason for the algorithm to push content that I engage with less than all other types of content
