It also happened to me. I was watching some completely unrelated stuff (technical stuff) when I noticed that a polemical and obviously stupid and dumb right-wing AfD propaganda video showed up high in the recommendation list. I was watching stuff in English, yet BS in German was shown (just to be clear: that it happened to be German was not the problem, but additional to be puzzling that it was such BS, it was also strange to show me something in a different language). I don't remember what the current news was at that time, but when I then searched for something related to that, that extreme right BS pub talk stuff was all over the place. It was obvious that the recommendations were skewed. I was puzzled. I closed the browser (cleared cookies) but it remained the same. One video was recommended regardless of how non-political the videos were that I tried to watch. And once I searched for that topic, again, every second video or so was extreme right BS. It took a few days before that video was not shown anymore.
Scary. Definitely a problem.
