    just reset my youtube watch history for the first time in years and my recommended is like 50% alt-right pipeline content, this was a mistake. no wonder so many people fall into this with youtube shoving it down their throats - watching anything vaguely political and your whole feed is Shapiro and PragerU

      YouTube stole my little brother from me. His mind is filled with capitalist propaganda, and nothing penetrates now. He's too young to understand how economies work. All he has are things other people told him. Life sucks

        Nobody's truly lost, I've seen people make the jump from proud neo-nazi to leftist so don't give up on your brother just cause he thinks capitalism is good. Hell, I've found "libertarians" to be the easiest to convert. Ask him to explain why he thinks X or Y and then highlight the flaws in his thinking instead of telling him he's wrong right off the bat. Show him videos of people like Shaun debunking some of the channels he might watch.

      My recommendations go off the rails immediately if I don't contantly scrub my watch history (and search history!) of the things I view out of morbid curiosity. One single viewing of Blue by Eiffel 65 was enough to transform my feed into 75% terrible VEVO new releases
