Did you forget a "/s" or is that your genuine belief / political stance?
That is the fun part - you have to decide yourself.
Do you have any sincere beliefs that you’d like to earnestly discuss with other people with curiosity?
Considering how much of YouTube's "content" is right wing conspiracy nonsense, can't see how this is going to move the needle much.
I genuinely don't see any. What are you doing to get the algorithm to feed you content like that? Or if this isn't in your feed - what are you basing your estimate on? I don't doubt there's a ton of it - but I'm curious how you know there's a ton of it.
YouTube creators are going to be upset by this, political ads in election years have a CPM of upwards of $5. It makes up a lot of their income.
Sure, but feeding impressionable people garbage which then gets them to vote squarely against their own interests is worse than creators making a bit less.

It doesn't take much. We recently had large floods where I live and I decided that for next time I was going to have some supplies ready, just in case. A few seemingly benign searches for "preparedness" later and my feed is full of conspiracy theorists, guns and Jeeps. I guess the "prepper" crowd correlates strongly with some other categories.
The fact you have to go out of your way to find this supposed "right wing conspiracy nonsense" should be a good indicator of your own bias. I wonder if you had the same opinion of being prepared with cars and guns if you lived in ukraine or gaza

I don’t think this is the right website for that sort of rhetoric. Do you have any sincere beliefs that you’d like to earnestly discuss with other people with curiosity?
Is a belief that universal franchise is stupid, but since we are playing that stupid game we should enjoy it's stupid prizes and not cry disinformation every time the voters have the audacity to vote against the preferences of the pseudo intellectual elite that controversial?
I wish they'd stop serving scams too. I keep seeing shit like "make 75,000 using Ethereum and ChatGPT"

He didn't go out of his way, he literally just explained that he searched for something and got served the crackpot stuff. Searching for something on YouTube isn't going "out of your way", it's using it as intended. Maybe read it again.
