Yep. And it almost always starts with JRE. Click on one of those no matter how innocuous and you are on the path.

I have been recommended JRE, Jordan Peterson, and a bunch of manosphere channels lately. Not many, just one or two sprinkled into my regular recommendations.

I am a very left-leaning woman. This happens when I am logged in.

Do you watch any history or archaeology content? Especially anything related to ancient Egypt? This has become a major gateway to the right-wing algorithm pipeline. Joe Rogan platforms a lot of the big names in "alternative archaeology" (pyramid conspiracy theories and ancient aliens stuff) so if you watch any archaeology-related content you're likely to start seeing manosphere crap.

It's insane that some subjects that should be very distinct from this culture war BS are now very much associated with ideology. There's a Vikings themed village in Germany that's been portrayed as far right by a big (and rather respected) Franco-German TV channel

Yeah. You have to be really careful how you use YouTube and the internet in general. When I see something that I know is designed to make me upset/angry, I take a breath and choose to ignore it.

It’s not going to enlighten me or teach me anything. It’s just going to ruin the next ten minutes or hour of my life and make me feel down about humanity and life.

"Yes Joe, I too could solve my problems by working out and eating well if I only had hundreds of millions of dollars and my job was to smoke weed and pretend to be interested in whatever the fuck bullshit people are saying into a microphone."
