Did a whole bunch of right wing money flood into Youtube trying to influence culture? Or am I jumping at shadows?

Suddenly my Youtube ads are all “Real men protect women and wear this tactical hoodie!” and Youtube thinks I want to watch Matt Walsh’s transphobic documentary. Emotionally, it feels like they’re throwing salt in my wounds while I’m just trying to watch my astrophysics Youtubers and escape.

    Yeah, I’ve been meaning to postulate on this.

    My feed flooded with topical but conspiratorial videos immediately post-election. Way too noticeable to dismiss without considering.
