So, looks like I've started to experience the fucked up algorithms of @TeamYouTube recently. This is the third or fourth example of alt-right fuckery I've had appear in my recommends over the last few days...pic.twitter.com/DSZ5DDXacJ

Recommendations are tailored on your search and watch history. If you find the recommendations are irrelevant you can remove them by selecting the 3 dot menu and marking them as 'Not Interested'. This will influence the feed on homepage.
...and this is the point. As someone with left leaning political views who has never watched any alt-right videos at all, even out of a macabre sense of fatalism, why would your system deem this a relevant recommendation?
If that genuinely is the intention of the algorithm it has failed. It presented me with several videos and categories that I feel are potentially dangerous, and this to someone who watches mainly games criticism and Last Week Tonight.
This is still happening. After watching way too many @VicBergerIV videos, many with Trump or other GOP names in the title, @YouTube has filled my recommendations with alt-right propaganda vids and Jordan Peterson.
