I have disabled watch history and as much personal tailoring of the algorithm as I possibly can, to the point where my youtube main page is now completely empty, with just a prompt to enable watch history. I am now mostly free of those suggestions. However, I do occasionally get flooded with "rabbit hole" video suggestions underneath a playing video. My personal experience is that it most often happens underneath mainstream news reporting from "reputable" sources (Reuters, etc.). The most recent example was a news story about wildfires, where the first 20 recommendations underneath were exclusively China hysteria from far less "reputable" sources. Videos predicting imminent Chinese societal/political/economic collapse, or a major police state crackdown, or invasion, or about economic imperialism, etc. Personally, I think there's zero basis for any of that, but even if I had a more "mainstream" view that China is a peer competitor and that we're in a new Cold War, these videos would be radicalizing, and exclusively in a more aggressive direction.
