YouTube bears a lot of responsibility for the existence of this whole movement. Their recommendation engine is a brainwashing engine, probably as a side effect of the fact that rabbit-holing people keeps them on the site. It doesn't just filter bubble you. It subjects you to what seems like an escalating indoctrination ramp... again probably as a side effect of just studying what keeps people on the site longest.
