Well I don't know who that is, my which is my point really. I'm assuming he's some right wing conspiracy theorist but because I'm not already pre-disposed to listen to that kind of stuff I don't get it in my recommendations.

Meanwhile Facebook would actively promote that stuff.

Consider yourself lucky.

Yeah I feel like people are missing my point I don't know who it is and I don't get recommended his content.

The only people who get recommended his content are people who are already going to be thinking along those lines and watching videos along those lines.

YouTube does not radicalize people they do it to themselves.
