I ended up ad-blocking YouTube’s sidebar because it kept recommending me videos such as “Jordan Peterson Destroys Feminist” and “Jordan Peterson Owns Muslim”, despite me not even really knowing who Jordan Peterson is and not being interested in watching videos of that nature in the first place.
Do more right-leaning viewers have similarly incendiary, left-leaning videos popping up in their feed? Is YouTube’s algorithm designed to increase engagement by showing us videos that will elicit an angry response?
