Youtube gets way too little blame for radicalizing a large chunk of angry/confused people imo. I watched a video one time that I guess was alt-right-adjacent. Youtube immediately started recommending more hardcore basically racist content intended to induce more anger - leading my right down the rabbit hole if I wanted to go. I had to train it to stop doing that.
Instagram seems to have done the same thing for a bunch of people in the wellness community - pulling them some of them down into the Q-rabbit hole.
I truly despise the algorithms and blame them for most of the problem.
You can easily opt out of this. Turn off watch history and search history, then you'll have recommendations related to your subscriptions, not what you watch. I've been doing this for over a decade now.
