The data don't support this take. The reach of this kind of content is pretty small still, and there's far more money and effort spent in keeping most people too busy, distracted, or enraged at other things.
Well a lot of people choose to watch vapid things instead of learning things. These are the people I am talking about. It's not some conspiracy, it's a choice or a flaw in their character.
For a lot of folks, the algorithm offers nothing else. If you're flagged as vulnerable to any of a few dozen brands of content, you'll never be offered anything else. And very few folks are vulnerable by choice.
Also, idk if you've tried youtube search for things you don't already understand. It is not great.

If only the people that believed this BS were swayed by facts or made any attempt whatsoever to live in reality.
