I never click on them and I don’t consume any other content related to those countries but every so often I’ll see an anti (those countries) headline in my feed and then the next few days will have pro occupied China stories

It feels like targeted propaganda since I never see good stories about the other countries and it makes me wonder why YouTube hasn’t been broken up if they are too big to monitor that

Are you watching videos about Asia?

YouTube always starts recommending far right authortian content, because if someone watches that stuff, statistically they'll watch a lot of them. Without an account, they're just exposing you to them hoping you'll bite and get hooked.

Potentially recipes from Asian channels but yeah, just annoying algorithm

It started doing it to me the other day as well and I have a 10 year old account with 0 Asian watch history

South China Sea News and some fucking DPRK News with this "so cute weather girl" and gross propaganda in the comments

Blocked it but no idea where the recommendation came from
