True that. I also never see anything really left wing. But then I really try to avoid political stuff on Youtube. I don't want to see video content that makes me angry.

I've noticed that my punk music recommendations always seem to quickly get politically innocuous. It's like the punk always gets gradually filtered out of my recommendations again, while the math, jazz, world music, metal, botany, craft, etc. remains.

I never really take the effort to dislike anything. Not giving it any time or effort maybe makes a difference? Interesting fact about the Scottish marching bands. Makes me concerned that as a person obsessed with international folk music I might accidentally like something nationalistic. Especially in the Balkans it quickly gets complicated and genocide-y.
