Do you notice if being signed in affects this? Just set out to try it (not signed in) from the first video that came up when I searched "Linux" and kept clicking the third video wondering how long until I get to Hitler.

Never got there. After a brief detour in some Greek channels I can't comment on, I ended up in a seemingly endless loop of mindfully woke TEDx talks (as in, no political or inflammatory stuff, just different variations of "how to live your life to the fullest", "this is how your brain works", "the secret to to happiness/productivity/communication...", etc.

Watching Colombo snippets, get recommended some celeb Net Worth trashy video: https://postimg.cc/grRNTL5j

Climate Town links to some unrelated video about Orlando amusement parks: https://postimg.cc/jW0zNMxh

These are way milder than I remember, btw.

Logged out, no weird recommendations:

So yeah, logged out doesn't have that 3rd obnoxious video, which is kind of interesting.
