I have never heard of these channels. But if they are on YouTube to generate money, then they must grow views, and thus they're subject to the algorithm. And thus you are getting your information filtered through the algorithms preferences.

It's not censorship, but it's a constant force that pushes content creators into one direction, and if you're somewhat informed I don't need to line out what direction that is. It's just another algorithm based anti social media.

As long as it's not showing me pro trump shit, I'm good.

Quite a low standard you have there, and it shows that you are not prepared to defend your mind against the algorithm.

The alt right influencer network has a huge gray zone, and the algorithm presents you those influencers that match your current level of world view. And there they sow doubt, little "insights" at a time, constantly dragging your perception into one direction.

Trumps time is mostly over, the main alt right influencers already prepare for the time after.

You couldn't read between the lines that I don't give a shit? I watch what I like and block what I don't. Chill Winston. If it recommends me bullshit I block it, especially Trump bullshit.
