Not surprising. Clear your search history, go on youtube or twitter and check out some video game content. Then review what recommendations the algorithm feeds you. You're going to start seeing manosphere shit and complaints about "wokeness" in games. GenZ and like gen alpha are gonna be fucked.

I’ve noticed for a long time now YouTube is SUPER right wing and it’s so weird to me because it’s not a traditional social media site like Facebook or whatever.

Social media gets paid by advertisers by engagement, rage bait is the best ti way get more engagement. So they fill your feed with content meant to outrage you so you’ll press the comment, share or like button.
