Somehow I've managed to avoid most political/argumentative content on YouTube and this solution wouldn't make sense for me. Would I get videos about how bikes suck? What people who complain about "filter bubbles" me

My TikTok feed is ~70% animal videos and honestly it's the best app for positive content. It starts with way too many young women dancing but you can just mark them as "not interesting" and they will diminish.
