so i click on another video and here we have the first video suggestion that mentions steve bannon. i click on it and listen to someone probably leftist announcing they'll explain how steve bannon's opinions are wrong. and the next video is about jordan peterson.

or no fin! the interesting part here is that the first video mentioning any alt right figures was a somewhat leftist video of someone trying to dismantle bannon's views. yet i was subsequently served increasingly right-wing videos.https://twitter.com/amberagemusic/status/1106651114999562242 …

so although the first few videos were left-to-centrist videos, "debating" "controversial" people like peterson or bannon, everything after got more and more right-wing. that about sums up centrism. agree to debate them and they already won.
