    It’s just YouTube. I saw someone share a profile just for their kid to watch videos and there was just a Jordan Peterson video in the recommended.

    I see the same thing at work. My work account only has videos related to work and it’s trying to push conservative political shit on me

      You’re comment is serendipitous! My partner told me about wendigoon last night, and today I’ve been picking up on other male YT channels that play horror games saying offhand shit about women. I can’t unsee it!

      I just ranted to him about it, but I’d rather know than blindly support channels that promote or hold those views.

      Thankfully, YT knows I’m “female” and hasn’t recc’d me any outright Jordan Peterson-esque, right-wing propaganda stuff. It’s just I like watching channels play horror games, and the vast majority are US men. It’s so easy for young boys and men to fall down that hole these days ugh!!

      Funnily, since Cheetolini and President Musky got in, FB has been reccomendeding me Jordan Peterson shit. I hate that site, I only use it to post pictures of Mickey to his rescue orgs page as they like seeing their cats and dogs living their best life 😂

        It sucks. I saw some clips of Asmongold and thought he’d be mildly entertaining to watch, and then it turns out he’s just a massive chud as well. You can watch a bunch of neutral or leftist content and Youtube won’t recommend anything similar, but watch something with even a hint of a rightwing crossover audience and it fills your feed with Daily Wire type shit.
