    Why do you people insist on this conspiracy theory where you blame the person because you think they are lying? Fuck off. Google’s algorithm is malicious.

      It’s not a conspiracy theory to assume and algorithm takes what you watch and are interested in into account. That’s what it does.

      It is a conspiracy theory, and an easily disproven one, to suggest the algorithm forces this content on you.

      Yeah, I am getting pretty real tired of that excuse. It takes active vigilance to try to teach the algorithm that no, I am not a christofascist incel “pAtRiOt” and I do not want those fuckers in my feed
