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.
