Who did these stats, I'm getting more right wing proganda than ever. Also Facebook is just as bad as ever. I really like stuff like the fediverse since I can control my feed.

Me, too. I'm always recommended Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson videos, with a sprinkling of Ben Shapiro. I even got someone claiming the holocaust was overblown (i reported them). All within the past few months.

I don't get recommended regular videos like that, but youtube shorts are full of that garbage. I suspect it's a blind spot
