I see no ads.
It would make some sense for YT's business model to drive people like me away, but if they were to commit to that then my YT feed would always look like Rumble.
I guess our viewing habits and behavioural data still retain value without the ad revenue.

All saleable data I guess.
Edit: Here's a thought, perhaps the algorithm is using keywords that are independent of the view taken by the video, a video slagging off Farage might still be categorised as being about him, suggesting another.

Doesn't explain why YT keeps shoving religious doggerel my way.

If you're an atheist then this is the same kind of pattern.
If so I wonder if there's a frustrated Nazi out there who keeps getting Skepchic suggested to him, and a frustrated street preacher getting all your Hitchens videos....

Ragebait is a thing, so yes.
I keep getting flag-shagger videos and financial market bullshit clickbait.
