This is a whole thing. There's been research that shows that if you just randomly follow videos on YouTube, you'll more than likely end up at hard-right talking points. There's also a deliberate effort by Nazis to build a propaganda pipeline, particularly on youtube. Adam Something did a good video on his own personal experience with this.

You have to use "don't recommend channel" on anything even remotely sus to keep YouTube from trying to alt right pipeline you
Or not watch them because they're shit and the algorithm changes what it recommends.
Oh, definitely don't watch them. But if I see a title/thumbnail that looks iffy, I check the channel page and block the whole channel if I don't like the look of it. Only way to keep that shit from overwhelming the whole feed.
Or watch it and then remove it from watch history, if it's only borderline interesting.
