If you use adblock on YouTube turn it off for a while and watch the ads they show there.
I even recently saw an ad on there about a trans woman (read: a guy with a fetish for female clothing) "helping" elders in the LGBT community to eXpReSs themselves more by being even more obnoxiously gay. I felt like throwing up.
If you follow YT links from this or other “rightwing” websites, YouTube can see where you just followed the link from. They tie this to your IP address. Then they put you in a special ‘reeducation’ category because they see you go to rightwing websites. Then they show you ads or recommend videos to try to fix your thinking and make you more left. I have noticed it more and more so I quit following links directly and it stopped doing it so much. Spooky stuff
Yep ^^^ This is why they shove this stuff in your face. I always use adblock while on my laptop but not on my phone, so sometimes I unfortunately see that trash. I use the app instead of a browser because my phone is too slow otherwise.
I'd turn on my TV to check, but I don't have cable anymore. I seriously would not doubt it, though.

Why is the algo targeting you with that stuff I wonder?
