    What’s kind of weird to me is that the very little political content I watch is ostensibly left wing.

    I will echo what another user in this thread said and assume that it’s because of standup comedy I’ve seen. However, I usually swipe through the clearly right wing comedians or people whose jokes are like bitching about wokism.

      Same for me. I assume the propagandists have found a correlation between standup and people they can influence. I don’t watch right wing stand up either in fact I purposely click don’t recommend on anything right leaning when I do see it.

      On a semi related note, I have just noticed in the last 4 days that there are a bunch of rap and black reaction channels giving a favorable reaction to that country song that was just taken off CMT. I actually took the time and watched some of them in an incognito tab and the reactions are suspiciously similar. The hundreds of comments on these videos are all the same and from users with names like suziwpgt3 or other bot type names. I can’t put into words the dismay I feel about the danger of people feeling validated by these obviously faked or paid for reviews.
