This is the algorithm's job. It's built to make sure you're watching more videos and making sure you stay on the site as long as possible. YT isn't propagating

  > It's built to make sure you're watching more videos and making sure you stay on the site as long as possible. > YT isn't propagating it. You contradict yourself. I have never once searched for conspiracy content, ever, and was fed conspiracy videos in feeds for over a decade. That is by design. I imagine many other users would report the same. The algorithm favors conspiracy videos and youtube is responsible. They have known this forever and chose to do nothing. Hysteria and insane tin-foil hat content pays out.

    for clarification: TY isn't propagating content - meaning there are no people who sit in front of a computer and choose what people are seeing in their "Feeds" or what they see when they land on the front page. That is completely different than an algorithm specifically designed to recommend content to you based on what video's you have watched in the past to maximize your time on the site. IF you have one, you don't need to the other. Also, the content you see when you are logged in to google vs. logged out is also completely different for reasons that shouldn't require any elaboration.

      > based on what video's you have watched in the past I think I made it clear that this is not what is happening, and not what the problem is.
