It’s YouTube music, which is showing popular “podcasts” on its explore page. Must be just because it’s popular because nothing in my algo on either youtube or YouTube music would suggest this shit.

    You also have to remember that Google has been switching their search tools over to AI search tools and the results have degraded as a result.

    Even before then, there was manipulation of the search algorithm by content creators, even on the YouTube side.

    It’s probably a combination of all factors tbh.

    • Google is slowly pushing on the scale of authoritarianism.
    • Search changes being a degradation in results.
    • Search algo manipulation.
    • Google intentionally showing divisive content due to the higher revenue opportunities
    • And the sheer breadth of right wing grift content.
