Yeah, maybe. I dunno. For the last few months, below Youtube's regular recommendations there's been a selection of the most scary Covid headlines their algorithms could find. "super deadly strain found ..." "vaccine side effects..." "scientists warn vaccine may not be effective...". I guess the recommendation engine discovered that fearmongering gets people to click, but it's hard to take it seriously. Since it clearly only selects for the most alarming news, I assume that it lands far on the alarmist end of reality and therefore I should discount whatever it says.
