  • It depends on material too. Algorithm makes recommendations based on similar video, and something like Star Wars for instance has a lot of angry conservatives ranting about it so can skew towards youtube recommendations including them in Star Wars content.

    On the other hand searching Expanse is less likely to see those conservative rant channels, since not as much content like that is made for it.

    So even though Expanse and Star Wars are scifi, viewing and searching both of them will have different levels of right wing centered media you are likely to be recommended.

    And depending on topic of interest the ideology of the most popular channels which youtube promotes also dictates what you’ll be recommended even if you don’t watch the channel. Like if you search PC stuff LTT will always dominate the first few pages of search results.
