I think it's called not consuming political content.

Or they could stop recommending strawman alt-right content when watching anything remotely leftist

I don’t consume ANY political content of any kind on YouTube. Or news.

But it still recommends both to me, and I hate it.

At least for me, consuming any content related to my hobbies results in political content being recommended to me, even despite my avoidance of political videos in their entirety throughout the lifetime of my YouTube account.

I've never ever click anything on YouTube that isn't something I absolutely enjoy.

All of my political YouTube views are in Incognito mode. Works great so far.
