Same exactly. I have a very specific question for you. I made the mistake of back in 2016 of watching some Jordan Peterson videos (mostly kidding about the word mistake, but read on). I enjoyed them and moved on. Ever since then YouTube has been obsessed with recommending Jordan Peterson videos to me even though I haven’t watched one in ages. Have you had this issue by any chance?

I went through a Jordan Peterson phase maybe a little later than you, but I don’t get a lot of JBP recommendations anymore. When I look at the recommendations I do get, though, it’s generally content I’ve engaged with more frequently and recently. Though I probably watch more YouTube than any other video content overall, so maybe that’s a reason why. (I feel a little sheepish admitting that, but I honestly shouldn’t because there’s a lot of good content.)
