Leftists aren’t immune. My YouTube has a lot of Vaush, Hasan, Sam Seder, etc.
Though I do also get Patrick Bet David and PragerU thrown in too, I think because I can’t help but watch for a window into their line of thinking.
It is not quite the same. It recommends things you watch. If you watch Hasan you tend to get more Hasan stuff but only on rare occasions do you get Vaush stuff.
Back in the day you could watch one non political thunderfoot about some scam and the recommendations would be a rouges gallery of anti-sjws with no other recommendations.
Now you can get radicalized because you want to be and it’s a nice saunter down the hill. Then it was a sheer cliff you could accidentally fall into. If you didn’t experience it you can’t really imagine how stupid it was.
