Hell without an account, on a VPN and blocking all cookies is arguably the better experience on YouTube.
The moment they realize a pattern that shows you're remotely based they start recommending effete soyfags with intellectually deficient false "debunking" takes after every video, in what appears to be a desperate attempt to stop you going off plantation.
Slop is also part of the establishment arsenal, because it's great for muddying the waters and for demoralization. They'll feed you "Libs of Tiktok" compilations all day long, but anything actually insightful, especially if it threatens the bottom lines of large corporations, is always buried.
I've had some of that too, especially if it's a fresh device watching relatively non-spicy content. At least that one seems more benign, "suggest more of the same" is how a content recommendation algorithm is supposed to work for the user on a basic level
But "quick, tell them that actually the opposite of that last video is true!" is an extra level of insidious. Charitably, maybe they're trying to get rage clicks when they do that, or less charitably maybe they literally don't want you to think the "wrong" thing.

I've had the opposite experience - watch one "feminist/sjw owned" compilation and that becomes the entire feed.
