i think if you like economics or fast cars you will also get radical right wing talk videos. if you like guns it's even worse.

Nah. Cars or money has nothing to do with it. I've never once gotten any political bullshit and those two topics are 60% of what I watch.

i made a fresh google account specifically to watch daily streams from one stocks channel (the guy is a liberal) and i got cars, guns, right wing politics in the feed.

my general use account suggestion feed is mostly camera gear, leftist video essays and debate bro drama.

Oh, you like WW2 documentaries about how liberal democracy crushed fascism strategically, industrially, scientifically and morally?

Well you might enjoy these videos made by actual Nazis complaining about gender neutral bathrooms!

I started to get into atheist programs and within a month I was getting targeted ads trying to convert me.

I started getting into Motorsport recently. I just get the ID video essay on racing and videos similar to top gear like overdrive. I don't get any right wing stuff or guns. But I'm also in the UK so it probably uses that too. For American maybe it's like "ah other Americans that line fast cars also like guns, here you go"
