Are you by any chance an (American) Evangelical Christian? Or have you been watching videos in that general 'area'?
I truly don't mean this to offend, but my experience with that particular denomination is that it's rife with all kinds of 'out-there' theories, ranging from anti-vax to young-earth creationism to harry-potter-gives-you-demons to various apocalyptic anti-christ-will-rise beliefs.
I can sort of imagine that YouTube might make some connection between those 'out-there' beliefs (leaving aside whether they're true or reasonable or not) and flat-eartherism, regardless of how different they might be in their out-there-ness.
Again, I'm not saying this to offend or imply that Christians are inclined to be flat-earthers; the vast majority of them that I know are not. I'm just really curious how you might be getting flat-earth videos and this was the first thing that came to mind.
