Interesting piece but it’s bizarre that white supremacy is given as an example of right-wing extremism while 9/11 and black helicopter conspiracies are attributed to the left. Both conspiracy theories are also key talking points for the reactionary right. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/10/opinion/sunday/youtube-politics-radical.html …

I find they frequently overlap. I remember when Alex Jones was *at least* as popular with anti-Bush lefty bros as he was with right-wing libertarians.

That may have been true 15 years ago but I don’t think it is anymore.

YouTube's algorithm kinda thinks it is; there must still be a subset that loops around to it—from right to left. Remember, I'm describing where the algo is leading people, not passing judgement on size of that audience on the left at the moment.
